Global InformationCristiano Leone information
Cristiano Leone is an Italian philologist, known for his roles as curator, artistic director and playwright.
He has worked both in the public and private sectors and has collaborated with Paris-Sorbonne University, French Academy in Rome, Electa, the National Roman Museum, the Spanish Embassy in Italy, the Bath of Caracalla, and the Centre des Monuments Nationaux - Cité internationale de la langue française. He has taught at University of Namur, Sciences Po Paris, Bocconi University in Milan and LUISS Guido Carli Business School in Rome.
He has published landmark medievalist works on the fables of Petrus Alphonsi, providing an original genealogy and historical context of these texts. His new translation and informative introduction on Petrus Alphonsi's Disciplina clericalis substantially contributed to understanding Exempla literature in Latin and vernacular.[1]
He was responsible for the cultural programming and for communication at the French Academy in Rome from 2016 to 2019. For this institution, he organised numerous public meetings, curated and coordinated exhibitions with French, Italian and international leading artists.
Since 2019 he runs his own production company, Cristiano Leone Productions. His curatorial approach seeks to connect and encourage the dialogue between contemporary creation, and historical and artistic heritage.[2]
As artistic and linguistic director, he was instrumental in developing ideas for transforming the Château de Villers-Cotterêts into the future Cité internationale de la langue française.
In November 2023 Cristiano Leone launched at MAXXI Museum in Rome his latest work: Atlas of Performing Culture,[3] the first volume published by Rizzoli New York with the ambition to place the phenomenon of performance through a broad cultural lens.
Since January 2024 he is the President of the Santa Maria della Scala Foundation,[4][5] the largest museum complex in Siena.
