Life

Born in Mantua, Italy, Bertellini studied philosophy at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore and earned his Ph.D. in cinema studies at New York University Tisch School of the Arts. He moved to the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 2001 as a Junior Fellow in the Michigan Society of Fellows [2] and is currently Professor in the Department of Film, Television, and Media at the same institution with a courtesy appointment in the Department of Romance Languages. He was the Sargent-Faull Fellow [3] at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Studies (2007-08) and a Tiro a Segno Fellow [4] in New York University's Italian Studies department.

His work twice received the American Association of Italian Studies [5] book award for film and media (2010 and 2020). His other book awards include the Robert K. Martin Best Book Prize (Canadian Association for American Studies,[6] 2010), the Peter C.
