Marco Amatangelo

Marco Amatangelo is currently pursuing an MA degree in Art History at Concordia University. Motivated by his own diasporic connections to the geography in question, his SSHRC-funded research examines Sicilian art through the context of regional identity after the Second World War, with special interests in the relationship between the visual realm and the natural landscape, folk traditions, and the afterlives of local history.

Marco holds a BSc from the University of Toronto, having obtained a double major in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and Fine Art History, with a minor in Italian Studies. At the University of Toronto, he has co-founded and published two issues of Riflesso: the Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Journal of Italian Studies. Marco is committed to the communication, preservation, and sharing of knowledge across disciplines, and hopes to build a career in gallery/museum work, libraries, archives, and/or publishing, if not academia. On his spare time, Marco enjoys pursuing photography, various keyboard instruments, creative writing, visual arts, gardening, and language learning.
