Carlo Ginzburg
He holds a PhD in Philosophy and Letters from the University of Pisa. An original historian, sometimes provocative, he has tried to demonstrate the limitations of certain aspects of traditional historical methodology and has established himself as one of the main representatives of the so-called "microhistory", of which The Cheese and the Worms (1976) is one of the most complete examples.
He has taught at the universities of Bologna, Yale, Harvard, Princeton, and California, and his works, which include The Night Battles, The Clues about Piero, The Night History, and Wooden Eyes, have been translated into about twenty languages.
