Bruno Gentili (20 November 1915 – 7 January 2014) was an Italian classical scholar and philologist, Emeritus at the University of Urbino.
A prolific scholar, Gentili was an expert of Ancient Greek poetry and metre.
Biography
Born in Valmontone, Gentili spent his youth in Abruzzo and graduated from the Liceo Classico "Ovidio" in Sulmona. He enrolled in the Sapienza University of Rome, where he studied Greek Literature under Ettore Romagnoli and Byzantine Philology under Silvio Giuseppe Mercati. He graduated, tutored by Mercati, with a thesis in Byzantine Philology on the topic "Studio critico intorno alla storia di Agatia e alla sua tradizione manoscritta" . Soon after graduation, Gentili became assistant to Gennaro Perrotta (Romagnoli's successor), teaching Greek and Latin Metre.
In 1956 Gentili became Professor of Greek Literature in the newly-founded Faculty of Humanities of the University of Urbino, explicitly nominated by the Chancellor Carlo Bo. He was nominated Emeritus soon after his retirement (1991).
Gentili died aged 98 in Rome, in 2014. His second wife was Franca Perusino, Emerita of Classical Philology at the University of Urbino.
Research
Gentili was a specialist of Ancient Greek poetry and metre. He wrote extensively on poets such as Alcman, Bacchylides and Pindar. With Carlo Prato he edited the Teubner edition of all the extant fragments of the Greek elegiac poets, and with some of his disciples promoted the critical edition, with Italian translation and philological commentary, of Pindar's odes.
