Italian Studies

At Brown, Giuseppe Strazzeri focused on modern and contemporary literature, writing a dissertation under the direction of M. Riva and A. Oldcorn. He went on to teach at Seaton Hall University for a few years, before returning to Italy.  His first introduction to the world of publishing was through literary translation. After translating into Italian such authors as Richard Powers, Susan Sontag, Dave Eggers, Joyce Carol Oates, and consulting for various Italian houses from the US, he decided to move from academia to publishing, pursuing a brilliant career as editorial director.
