Matheus Malagueta

Master's student in Portuguese Literature at the University of São Paulo (USP), under the guidance of Prof. Adma Muhana. Bachelor of Arts (Portuguese and Spanish) from the same institution. After an internship at the University of Coimbra (UC), he developed studies on the medieval Trojan tradition and the idea of "anachronism" in the arts representing the war and destruction of Troy, focusing on the Portuguese Coronica Troiana of the 16th century, together with the Medieval Seminar of Literature, Thought and Society (SMELPS). He is currently a member of the research group in Romance Philology at the University of Bologna (UNIBO), coordinated by Prof. Giuseppina Brunetti. As a visiting researcher at UNIBO, he investigates the creation of the Roman de Troie (12th century) and the Historia destructionis Troiae (13th century), in the context of merchandising and literate circulation between the Italian and Iberian peninsulas, sizing up the "studia humanitatis" in the Sicilian and Alfonsian Cortes. International investigations make up the core of the main research, especially interested in evaluating the reception of Trojan material and the image of Troy in Portuguese historiographic and genealogical literature, between the 13th and 16th centuries, with a contrasting focus on the writings of Count Pedro de Barcelos and the Coronica Troiana from the 16th century.
