Office Hours:

Paolo Pucci, Associate Professor of Italian, grew up in Florence, Italy. He received his B.A. in German literature from the University of Florence (1997) and his Ph.D. in Italian from Rutgers University (New Brunswick, NJ) in 2005.

Prof. Pucci has published on courtesans in 16th century Italy, both as victims of derogatory literary attacks and authors of poetry and letters. His interest on minorities has brought him to investigate and publish on the depiction of homosexuals in the early-modern novella, as well. His most recent research deals with good and bad Muslims in Matteo Bandello's novellas.
