Historique
Of Milanese Jewish descent, Limentani left fascist Italy in July 1939. He joined the Italian Dept of the University in 1945, and became the Professor of Italian, 1964-1982; he was particularly well-known for his work on Dante. He was a professorial Fellow of the College from 1964, and an Honorary Fellow in 1988. He was awarded the gold medal of the Italian Government for services to scholarship (1982). He gave a wonderful rendition of the Crowland grace before dinner.
