Born in Venice in 1935, Lepschy attended the University of Pisa and the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa. He carried out research at various European universities until 1964, when he was appointed to a lectureship at the University of Reading. He was promoted to a readership in 1967 and then to Professor of Italian in 1975.
