About the Journal
Incontri. Rivista europea di studi italiani is a peer-reviewed international journal of Italian Studies dedicated to the study of Italian culture from its origins to the present day. Since its founding in 1985, the journal has published original research across a wide range of disciplines, including history, literature, linguistics, philosophy, art history, music, cinema, and theatre. The journal actively encourages interdisciplinary contributions that cross traditional boundaries within the Humanities. It also welcomes research that examines Italy within transnational and comparative contexts. In doing so, the journal seeks to foster critical debates on the interconnected and evolving nature of Italian culture in a European and global context.
Incontri is the journal of the Werkgroep Italië Studies (WIS), an Italian Studies workgroup based in the Dutch and Flemish academic research community.
Incontri is recognised by ANVUR as a “Scientific Journal” for Area 10 (Ancient, Philological-Literary and Historical-Artistic Sciences).
