Luca Rigobianco (1982), after graduating with a bachelor's degree in Literature (Ca' Foscari University of Venice) and a master's degree in Linguistics (University of Padua), in 2011 gained a PhD in Linguistic, Philological, and Literary Sciences - Linguistics at the University of Padua. Between 2012 and 2019 he was a research fellow for two years at the University of Padua and for four years at Ca' Foscari University of Venice. From 2014/2015 to 2019/2020 he was Adjunct Professor of Historical Linguistics at the University of Padua. Since 2020 he has been an adjunct researcher in Glottology and Linguistics at Ca' Foscari University of Venice. In 2013 and 2020 he obtained the National Scientific Qualification as a 2nd level professor for the Glottology and Linguistics sector (10/G1).

 

The main strands of his research activity include historical linguistics, Indo-European linguistics, and digital epigraphy, with particular attention to the fragmentary languages of ancient Italy. He has dealt with issues that differ in terms of areas (phenomena of linguistic interference, morphology, etymology, etc.) and in terms of linguistic variety (Etruscan, Latin, Faliscan, Sabellic languages, Venetic, Celtiberian, Greek, and Romance languages), adopting a perspective that is particularly attentive to textual, written, and cultural aspects.

 

He is the author of two monographs and articles in Italian and foreign journals, mostly class A ones. He has also participated in national and international conferences, also as an invited speaker. He has collaborated in various capacities with research projects in Italy (including FIRB 2008 and PRIN 2009, 2010-2011, and 2017) and abroad (ISCH COST; Proyecto de excelencia 2017; Proyectos de I+D+i 2020).

 

He is a member of the scientific committee of the study series "Quaderni di AION-Linguistica", "Ariodante - Linguistica ed epigrafia dell'Italia antica" (Università degli Studi di Perugia), and "Antropologia culturale, etnologia, etnolinguistica" (Aracne editrice).

In 2014 he was co-opted as a member of the Società Italiana di Glottologia and in 2021 he was elected as a correspondent member of the Istituto di Studi Etruschi e Italici.

In 2017 he was awarded by the European Commission the Seal of Excellence H2020-MSCA-IF-2016.
