For its upcoming issues, Incontri. Rivista europea di studi italiani is currently accepting essay submissions and proposals for special issues.

Incontri is a peer-reviewed international journal dedicated to the study of Italian culture from its origins to the present day. Since its founding in 1985, the journal has published original research across a wide range of disciplines, including history, literature, linguistics, philosophy, art history, music, cinema and theatre. We actively encourage interdisciplinary contributions that traverse traditional boundaries within the Humanities and welcome research that situates Italian culture within transnational and comparative contexts.

Published as an Open Access journal, Incontri is the official publication of the Werkgroep Italië Studies (WIS), a scholarly network based in the Dutch and Flemish academic communities. The journal ensures a transparent and rigorous editorial process through a double-blind peer review system. Upon submission, each manuscript undergoes an initial screening by the editorial board to assess its suitability for review. Submissions deemed suitable for peer review are anonymised and evaluated independently by two expert reviewers.

Articles may be submitted in English, Italian and Dutch and should range between 5,000 and 8,000 words, including notes. Submissions must include the following: (a) five keywords in English and Italian; (b) a brief author biography of approximately 100 words, in the same language as the article; (c) preferred contact details (home or work address) and email; (d) a concise abstract of around 200 words in both English and Italian; and (e) the author's ORCID iD.

Proposals for special issues should include the following: (a) the provisional title of the issue; (b) list of contributors with their proposed article titles; (c) description of the rationale and scientific relevance of the project; (d) proposed timeline and approach to peer review; (e) short biography of the guest editor(s).
