Giuliana Carugati studied languages and literatures at the Università Cattolica, Milan, where she graduated Summa cum Laude, with a dissertation on American poetry. Her translations include a book (on economics!) from English to Italian, and from Renaissance-era Italian to English for an exhibition at the Jewish Museum on documents relating to Italian Jewry. Carugati has a PhD in Italian Literature, and has written two books about Dante Alighieri: Dalla menzogna al silenzio and Il ragionare della carne. She has taught at Emory University and the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. Presently, she is writing a text mostly on Meister Eckhart.
