Critical edition of the Masoretic text of the book of Daniel. In collaboration with Agustinus Gianto (Pontifical Biblical Institute, Rome), I contribute to the Biblia Hebraica Quinta fascicule of Daniel (Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft). This means we aim at a new edition of the Codex Leningradensis EBP. I B19a and evaluate the variants attested in the Qumran scrolls, in the ancient Greek, Latin and Syriac versions, as well as any divergences from the Cambridge Add. 1753, Firkovitch 2 (0034) and Sassoon 1053 manuscripts.

Co-director of the GRoCoB (Greco-Roman Context of the Bible) project, which aims to produce a dictionary in Italian and English comprising approximately 130 entries of 2,000–5,000 words each. The entries address topics of particular relevance to the interpretation of the Jewish and Christian Scriptures in light of the Greco-Roman context in which they were composed and received. Each entry places particular emphasis on primary sources, the key Semitic, Greek and Latin terms attested in them, and concise, up-to-date bibliographical references. - The project was conceived and is jointly edited by Marco Settembrini, Head of the Department of the History of Theology at the Theological Faculty of Emilia-Romagna, and Daniele Pevarello, a lecturer at Trinity College Dublin. It is coordinated by a scientific committee comprising Antonio Cacciari (University of Bologna), Nuria Calduch-Benages (Pontifical Gregorian University, Rome), Lucia Criscuolo (University of Bologna), Alessandro Cristofori (University of Bologna), Giovanni Geraci (University of Bologna), Sincero Mantelli (Theological Faculty of Emilia-Romagna / Augustinian Patristic Institute), Leonardo Pessoa (Pontifical Biblical Institute, Rome), Daniele Pevarello (Trinity College Dublin), Emilio Rosamilia (University of Bologna), Marco Settembrini (Theological Faculty of Emilia-Romagna, Bologna), and Daniele Tripaldi (University of Bologna).
