Student of the history of religions, specialized in the translation from ancient Hebrew, he has translated the Masoretic text for the publisher Edizioni San Paolo.

For Biglino, through direct analysis of the Hebrew texts of the Bible, knowledge and understanding of religious thought is today more accessible. Biglino translates literally what he reads in the Old Testament, deliberately ignoring those aspects of the faith, reserved for the personal sensitivity. Biglino therefore proposes an examination of the Old Testament through the literal translation of the Hebrew text, the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia.

Leon Battista Alberti

Influential treatises on painting, architecture, and sculpture of Italian writer Leon Battista Alberti introduced classical ideas into Renaissance art.

This author, poet, priest, linguist, philosopher, cryptographer, and general humanist polymath, often characterized exclusively, as James Beck observed, "to single out one of Leon Battista's 'fields' over others as somehow functionally independent and self-sufficient is of no help at all to any effort to characterize Alberti's extensive explorations in the fine arts." Giorgio Vasari described life of Alberti in Vite de' più eccellenti pittori, scultori, e architettori or "Lives of the most excellent painters, sculptors and architects."

Carlo Emilio Gadda

Carlo Emilio Gadda was an Italian writer and poet. He belongs to the tradition of the language innovators, writers that played with the somewhat stiff standard pre-war Italian language, and added elements of dialects, technical jargon and wordplay.
Gadda was a practising engineer from Milan, and he both loved and hated his job. Critics have compared him to other writers with a scientific background, such as Primo Levi, Robert Musil and Thomas Pynchon--a similar spirit of exactitude pervades some of Gadda's books.
Carlo Emilio Gadda was born in Milan in 1893, and he was always intensely Milanese, although late in his life Florence and Rome also became an influence. Gadda's nickname is Il gran Lombardo, The Great Lombard: a reference to the fam

Adriana Cavarero

Adriana Cavarero teaches philosophy of politics at the University of Verona, Italy, and is a visiting professor at New York University. Her field of research includes classical, modern and contemporary thought, with a special focus on the political significance of philosophy. Two main concerns shape her approach to the Western philosophical tradition. First, the 'thought of sexual difference', a theoretical perspective that enables the deconstruction of Western textuality from a feminist standpoint. Second, the thought of Hannah Arendt, reinterpreted in its most innovative categories: birth, uniqueness, action and narration. The result is an inquiry that foregrounds the individual and unique existence of the human being, as related to body

Eraldo Baldini

Ha iniziato a dedicarsi alla narrativa dalla fine degli anni ottanta, dopo essersi specializzato in antropologia culturale ed etnografia ed avere scritto diversi saggi in quei campi. La sua prima produzione a carattere mystery è la raccolta di racconti Nella nebbia pubblicata dallo stesso editore degli studi sul folklore romagnolo; la rinomanza di Baldini cresce poi gradualmente da quando, nel 1991, vince il Mystfest di Cattolica con il racconto Re di Carnevale. Per la sua narrativa viene coniato il termine di «gotico rurale» perché Baldini è riuscito a trasportare un genere tipicamente anglosassone e (negli autori moderni) tipicamente cittadino, nei panorami familiari della campagna romagnola.
