Bio
Francesca Nodari graduated in Philosophy from the University of Parma and specialized in Philosophy and Languages of Modernity from the University of Trento. She earned her PhD in Philosophy from the University of Trieste, under the guidance of Professor Bernhard Casper.
In 2014 and again in 2025, she obtained her national qualification in Moral Philosophy. She is president of the Fondazione Filosofi lungo l'Oglio and scientific director of the eponymous Festival. She addresses issues surrounding the status of subjectivity and otherness, seeking to bring out their embodied, temporal, and finite dimensions, drawing inspiration from Levinas's thought in particular. Her research consistently draws on the Judeo-Christian tradition and interreligious dialogue. She has published numerous articles. She edits the "Chicchidoro" and "Tempo della Memoria" series for Mimesis and contributes to the "Domenica" edition of Il Sole 24 Ore. She is among the winners of the "Premio Donne Leader 2012," awarded to her by the EWMD Association, and in 2015, the "Premio Donne che ce l'hanno fatta." In 2019, she was awarded the honor of Knight of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic by the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella, and on 2 June 2025, again by will of the President of the Republic, she was awarded the honor of Officer of Merit of the Italian Republic.
