Giuseppe Lepore

Associate professor at the University of Bologna since 2014, he conducts research in the field of Classical Archaeology. His research interests focus in particular on the birth and development of urban forms (in various areas of the ancient Mediterranean, from Epirus to Sicily, to the Adriatic and Ionian areas), and the study of forms of habitation (with particular attention to aspects of wall and floor “decoration” in Greek and Roman dwellings). His research also covers funerary themes and the so-called “archaeology of death”, through an archaeological and anthropological study of the semantic value of grave goods and semata placed above ground, as primary indicators of identity and belonging to a social group.

He is involved in national and international research projects, collaborates with various European institutes and is the author of numerous publications covering various aspects of Classical Archaeology.
