After completing undergraduate work in Italy he received his Dottore in Lettere from the University of Florence in 1949 and PhD in English and Comparative Literature from Columbia University in 1959. Aguzzi-Barbagli began his teaching career at Vasser College, New Yourk (1955/56) before moving on to the University of Chicago (1959-1964), and then Tulane University (1964-1971). He joined the University of British Columbia's Department of Hispanic and Italian Studies as a professor in 1971. During his career he taught courses, published and lectured in Italian language, Italian literature (from the late Middle Ages to the seventeenth century) and also comparative literature. After retiring from UBC, Aguzzi-Barbagli died in 1995. A few years later a fine collection of sixteenth and seventeenth century books collected by Aguzzi-Barbagli were donated to the UBC Library by Hannibal Noce.
