About the author

Born, and spending his first ten years, in Italy, it seems natural that Sante Matteo would have an interest in world languages and cultures. His early collegiate education had a Gallic focus, as he received his BA and MA in French from Kenyon College and Miami University of Ohio, respectively. Later, he spent time on the East Coast where he received his MA and PhD in Italian, both at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore.

Currently professor of Italian and Coordinator of Italian Studies in the Department of French and Italian at Miami University of Ohio, for more than three decades Dr. Matteo has been the consummate educator - transcending his classroom instruction responsibilities to travel the U.S. and the world conducting research, presenting papers and serving on panels (141) while organizing and/or chairing many more (72); publishing articles (20), reviews (13) and writing books (6) and contributing chapters/content to collaborative works (18); and hosting international conferences (4).

If Sante were a baseball player, his qualitative accomplishments and stats would be comparable to those of Hank Aaron, Willie Mays or Stan Musial. And there's more... Dr. Matteo is frequently interviewed by the U.S. and foreign press (print, web and broadcast); has held editorial, board and officer positions with numerous national organizations and publications; and has been recognized via receipt of roughly two dozen awards, distinguished selections and grants, including outstanding professor of the year at Miami (multiple times) and a Fullbright.
