Fabio Fantuzzi

Fabio Fantuzzi is a Marie Skłodowska Curie Fellow working on the EU-funded project POYESIS at the Department of Germanic Languages at Columbia University and the Department of Humanities of Ca’ Foscari University.

He holds a Ph.D. in American Studies, and his primary research interests are the intersections between poetry, music, and visual arts in the American Jewish and Italian American literary and artistic traditions. He has published articles and essays in several international journals, edited the book “Tales of Unfulfilled Times” (Venezia, Edizioni Ca’ Foscari, 2017), and co-edited the book “Bob Dylan and the Arts: Songs, Film, Painting, and Sculpture in Dylan’s Universe” (Roma, Edizioni di Storia e Letteratura, 2020). His current research studies the work and teachings of artist Norman Raeben and his influence on various leading artists as a case to examine the evolution of Yiddish culture and art in New York in the 20th century.

As a multi-instrumentalist and a songwriter, together with the band Le Ombre di Rosso, he has published the albums “Momenti di lucidità” (2016) and “Da Sponda a Sponda” (2021), which puts to music Luciano Cecchinel’s homonymous collection of poems, which was awarded the 2020 Viareggio Prize for Poetry.
