Gianluca Solla is Professor of Theoretical Philosophy at the University of Verona.

During his visit, his research work will focus on the political theology of secularization, paying particular attention to the sacred origins of money. Furthermore, the edition of a volume on political theology is also being planned.

Gianluca Solla will be a guest in Munich from March to July 2012 following an invitation from Prof. Barbara Vinken at the Center for Advanced Studies. On 13 June, he will give a lecture entitled "Fiscus - Christus - Nummus. Das Geld als politisch-theologisches Dispositiv der abendländischen Kultur".
