Dr Giuseppe Labisi
Giuseppe Labisi is an archaeologist with a joint PhD from the Sapienza University of Rome and the Panthéon-Sorbonne University of Paris. Since 2020 he has been co-director of the archaeological project on Mount Altesina (Nicosia, Sicily) - first as an associate member of the University of Bordeaux-Montaigne and currently as an associate member of the University of Orléans. As part of the project, he identified an Arabic inscription which is so far one of the oldest from Islamic Sicily. Outside of this fieldwork, he is a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Konstanz in Germany where he focusses on the Sasanian architecture in the Iranian Plateau.
For the last half decade, his work has been divided between Western Asia and the Mediterranean. As a result, Giuseppe lives in both Europe and Asia, often spending several months working and living in Iran. He is fluent in Italian, French, English and Persian.
