Bosi majored in Literature at University of São Paulo in 1960 and later studied in Italy. Following his studies, he took the chair of Italian literature at the same university, an office he held until 1970, when he became professor of Brazilian literature. Bosi occupied the Brazilian Chair of Sociological Sciences Sérgio Buarque de Holanda at the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme and was deputy-director of Institute for Advanced Researches of the University of São Paulo from 1987 to 1997, when he became director of the organization.[2]
