Gáldrick de la Torre Ávalos is a university lecturer and researcher specializing in Spanish Golden Age literature and its relationship with Italian Renaissance culture. He holds an International Doctorate in Human Sciences, Heritage, and Culture from the Universitat de Girona (2015-2020, cum laude), and has undertaken research stays at the Università degli Studi di Napoli "Federico II" (2018), Universidad Complutense de Madrid (2022-2024), the University of Warwick (2024), and the University of Münster (2025). He is currently a Research Ireland Postdoctoral Fellow at Trinity College Dublin. His interdisciplinary research focuses on Spanish Golden Age and Italian Renaissance literature, with particular attention to historical and sociological dimensions such as literary patronage and the court as a sociocultural space in sixteenth-century Naples. His publications include studies on the piscatory eclogue, Bernardo Tasso, Vittoria Colonna, Alfonso d"Avalos, and Garcilaso de la Vega, as well as work on Pietro Bembo, Jacopo Sannazaro, Francisco de Quevedo, and the manuscript and print transmission of sixteenth-century poetry. He has published numerous articles and book chapters with leading international journals and academic publishers. He is the author of the forthcoming monograph "El mecenazgo nobiliario en la Nápoles de Garcilaso: literatura vulgar, redes cortesanas y espacios de sociabilidad literaria" (Reichenberger, 2026). He has also co-edited, with Dr Eugenia Fosalba, three collective volumes on Garcilaso"s Neapolitan context within the PRONAPOLI research project, to whose foundation and development he contributed. He regularly collaborates with specialist journals in Renaissance and Golden Age studies, including Calíope and Rilce, and is a member of several scholarly associations (SEMYR, SRBHP, RSA, CESURA, AISO, AHGBI). He also participates in the research groups Historia del Poder en la España Moderna (Universidad de Valladolid) and Literary Traditions and Texts of the Early Modern Age: Italian, Iberian, and Transatlantic Networks (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona). He has taught Spanish language and literature at the Universitat de Girona, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, and Trinity College Dublin, including modules in Spanish language, Renaissance and early modern literature, and cultural and Ibero-American studies.
