Full Professor of History of Medieval Philosophy at the Università degli Studi di Milano, head of the Department of Philosophy “Piero Martinetti” from 2017 to 2022. I was Professeur invité at the universities of Lausanne (2002), Fribourg (2003) and Tours (2013), and Directeur d’études invité at the École Pratique des Hautes Études in Paris (1996 and 2005).
Since 1993 I have been a member of the Editorial Board of the Rivista di Storia della Filosofia; since 2009 of «Vivarium. An International Journal for the Philosophy and Intellectual Life of the Middle Ages and Renaissance»; since 2013 the journal «Philosophia»; since 2011 of the series «Philosophica» (Edizioni ETS, Pisa); since 2015 of «Dante's Studies»; since 2019 of «Medioevo. Rivista di storia della filosofia medievale». Since 2013 I am coeditor, with Jacques Verger and Olga Weijers, of the series «Studies on the Faculty of Arts. History and Influence» (Brepols, Turnhout); since 2015 coeditor (with Dominique Poirel) of «Studia Artistarum» (Brepols, Turnhout).
My main field of research is the history of the Aristotelian tradition from the later Middle Ages to the Renaissance, but I also studied various aspects of the history of natural philosophy, the problem of intellectual freedom and its limitations at the University of Paris in the thirteenth and fourteenth century and the history of the doctrine of ‘double truth’.
