Milena Russo (Avellino, 1993) earned her Master's Degree in Modern Philology at the University of Rome "Sapienza" (final mark: 110/110 cum laude). During her studies she was mainly interested in 13th century Italian poetry: this area is linked to both the researches on the poet Federigo dall'Ambra (three-year degree thesis entitled "Le Rime di Federigo dall'Ambra. Edizione commentata", supervisor Prof. Marco Grimaldi) and the investigations on the still unpublished authorless poems transmitted by the three great song books of the early Italian poetry (Master's degree thesis entitled "Testi anonimi nei canzonieri italiani delle origini. Saggio di edizione e commento", supervisor Prof. Marco Grimaldi, co-supervisor Prof. Anna Radaelli). She also spent an important training period at the Bodleian Library in Oxford (02/2018 - 03/2018), where, under the supervision of Prof. Irene Ceccherini, she carried out work of description and cataloging of manuscript collections. In the academic year 2019/2020, these skills were deepened with the attendance of the 1st level Master in "Informatica del Testo - Edizione Elettronica" and the collaboration with the Istituto Centrale per il Catalogo e la Documentazione of Rome. Her project proposes a new critical edition of Giovanni Dondi dall'Orologio's rhymes, a fourteenth-century Paduan humanist and scientist, accompanied by a new comment and an overall study on the author.
