Life and career
Born in Alcamo, in 1956 Mineo graduated in Classical Literature at the University of Catania with a thesis on Giosuè Carducci and got a master's in Modern Philology at the Normale University in Pisa.[1]
After working as a liceo classico teacher and a voluntary university assistant, in 1980 he became a full professor in his Alma Mater, and later was nominated head of the Department of Modern Philology and president of the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy.[1][2] He was also visiting professor at La Sorbonne and at the University of Tours.[1]
The main object of Mineo's studies was Dante Alighieri, to whom he dedicated a large number of essays and studies, notably a Dante monograph first published in 1970 and which had numerous new editions over the years.[1][3] He was a founding member of the Société dantesque de France, and the founder of the Lectura Dantis association.[1] Mineo was also regarded as a major scholar of Giovanni Verga and Verismo.[1]
A former Italian Socialist Party of Proletarian Unity member, between 1998 and 2004 Mineo served as Councillor for Culture and Education in Giarre.[1][2] He died in Giarre on 6 February 2023, at the age of 89.[1][2]
