Giacomo Savani is a Roman archaeologist whose research explores the spread and adoption of Roman culture across different spaces and times, with a particular focus on Roman material culture—especially baths and bathing—as a vector and expression of political, social, and cultural relations. Before joining the University of Leeds in September 2024, he completed a PhD in Roman Archaeology at the University of Leicester in 2017. He subsequently held an Irish Research Council Government of Ireland Postdoctoral Fellowship in the School of Classics at University College Dublin (2019–2022), a Royal Society of Edinburgh Saltire Early Career Fellowship in the School of Classics at the University of St Andrews (2022–2023), and a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship at the School of History, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice (2024).
