Research
Research projects, activities and opportunitiesFor us, research is a fundamental element for social and economic development, contributing to progress, wellbeing and social cohesion.
This is why the University of Verona supports quality interdisciplinary research, international collaborations and the sharing of results to benefit our society, culture and economy.
Department research
Among the University of Verona’s strengths are its ability to keep up with cutting-edge research - both pure and applied - and the variety of disciplines involved such research.
The university’s academic departments are essential research structures. There are four macro subject areas which house three departments in Humanities, three departments in Law and Economics, four departments in Life and Health Sciences, and two departments in Sciences and Engineering.

The Tyrant's Fear. Part 2.
Literary and dramatic representations of tyranny abound since antiquity alongside critical distinctions between different forms of totalitarian and oppressive regimes. Yet, book-length studies on the topic of the tyrant’s fear are relatively few. The second part of this special issue (part 1: 51.4. 2017) includes seven articles which explore the tyrant’s fear as dramatized in the Oresteia and Macbeth through discussions of classical and early modern psychological, cultural and performative inter...
Backward error analysis of polynomial approximations for computing the action of the matrix exponential
We describe how to perform the backward error analysis for the approximation of exp(A)v by p(s −1 A) s v, for any given polynomial p(x). The result of this analysis is an optimal choice of the scaling parameter s which assures a bound on the backward error, i.e. the equivalence of the approximation with the exponential of a slightly perturbed matrix. Thanks to the SageMath package expbea we have developed, one can optimize the performance of the given polynomial approximation. On the other hand,...
Interferon Regulatory Factor 7 inhibition reverts the age-induced mitochondrial alterations in mesenchymal stem cells
Mitochondrial dysfunction and a low-grade-chronic inflammation are amongst the major hallmarks of aging, but the mechanisms underlying their etiology and causal connection with age remain largely unknown. We reveal herein an unprecedented, cell-autonomous role of Interferon Regulatory Factor 7 (IRF7) in leading mitochondrial alterations with age. Specifically, we show that increased interferon signaling and mitochondrial alterations are the prominent changes which occur in mesenchymal stem cells...
Linguistic Taboos and the 'Unscene' of Fear in Macbeth.
Macbeth’s unsaying the murder of Duncan through a euphemistic use of “doing” encodes an inextricable tangle of fear and desire in speech, which translates itself visually into the “unstaging” of the killing of the king, comparable to similar strategies of visual concealment and narrative disclosure in both Aeschylus’s Agamemnon and Cassandra’s vision in Seneca’s Agamemnon. The article offers a discussion of how taboo language in Macbeth is integrated in drama and in fact shapes its pragmatics. A...

Researchers from around the world in Verona
Interviews with Marie Curie research grant receiversGrégoire Cousin is a French researcher at the University of Verona. His Project, titled ‘Early Marriage between Dynamism of Social Network and Legal Autonomy: The case of transnational Romanian Roma’, has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation Programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 794108 — NetRom.
The scientific supervisor of the Project is Prof. Leonardo Piasere - Department of Human Sciences, University of Verona.
