Maria Sole Rigo
Postdoctoral Research Fellow
I am a classical philologist specialising in late antiquity, focusing on Greek and early Christian literature. I earned my BA and MA in Classics from the University of Udine and a degree in Humanistic Studies from the Scuola Superiore 鈥淒i Toppo Wassermann鈥 at the same university.
My doctoral research, completed at 鈥淟a Sapienza鈥 University of Rome (2020), focused on Eudocia Augusta鈥檚 St. Cyprian. After my PhD, I joined the ERC Consolidator Grant project 鈥淎ntCoCo鈥 in Bamberg, Germany, where I worked on late antique imperial constitutions and a commented English translation of the Acts of the Councils of Constantinople and Jerusalem (536).
As a member of the RADheart team, I will return to Christian Greek poetry and investigate the language of emotions in the works of authors such as Eudocia, Nonnus of Panopolis, and Gregory of Nazianzus.
