Nino Luraghi studied classics and ancient history in the Universities of Turin, Venice and Rome. He had his Ph.D. from the La Sapienza University of Rome in 1992. In 1992 he held a fellowship of the Foundation Luigi Firpo (Turin) and in 1993-1995 a post-doctoral fellowship of the University of Turin. From October 1995 to May 1997 he was at the Seminar fuer Alte Geschichte of the Albert Ludwig Universitaet Freiburg with a fellowship of the Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung. During the same period he was also senior research associate of the Balliol College, Oxford. In September 1997 he organized in Turin the workshop The dawn of historiography. Oral tradition, uses of the past and the writing of history in classical Greece. In July 1997 he was appointed Ricercatore in the History Department of the University of Parma. From August 1997 to August 1999 he has been Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter of the Sonderforschungsbereich (Special research group) "Identitaeten und Alteritaeten" at the University of Freiburg.
The main foci of his research include Greek tyranny, particularly of the Archaic Age, and Greek and Roman historiography. To the first he devoted his Ph.D. thesis, published in revised form as Tirannidi arcaiche in Sicilia e Magna Grecia (Florence 1994). On the latter, he has recently edited The Historian's Task in the Age of Herodotus (Oxford 2001). He is currently finishing a major project on the history of the Messenians from Nestor to Pausanias and about to start a new project on Greek mercenary soldiers in the archaic period.
