He is also an adjunct professor of Greek Palaeography at the same University (a.y. 2023/24). He graduated at the Catholic University of Milan in Byzantine Philology and obtained his PhD at the University of Roma Tre. His main objects of research include the epistles of Maximus Planudes (Epistole a Melchisedek, Alessandria 2007) and the manuscript tradition of the orations of Themistius. On the latter topic in particular, he has written a number of contributions (Ricerche sulla tradizione manoscritta delle orazioni di Temistio, «Aevum» 84 (2010), pp. 361-402; Per la tradizione di Temistio nei secoli XV-XVII. I codici recentiores delle orationes Augustales, «Aevum» 85 (2011), pp. 143-189; Letture di Temistio nei secoli XIV e XV, «Segno e Testo» 12 (2014), pp. 378-402) and a monograph, in which he provides the critical edition, with Italian translation and commentary, of three orations (Temistio. Orazioni 4,5,7. Introduzione, testo critico, traduzione e commento, a cura di G. P., “Biblioteca di Athenaeum”, Edipuglia, Bari 2022). He is also the author of contributions devoted to Italo-Greek manuscripts and to the manuscript production by Greek intellectuals in the East under the Turcocracy. He is currently studying manuscripts from the Palaeologan period that contain the text of the Iliad equipped with exegetical paratexts.
