Research areas Gallarino has primarily focused on the history of medieval philosophy and Dantean philosophy. on the subject, He has sought to demonstrate the unity and coherence of Dante's philosophy, despite the evolving spiritual sensibility of the Florentine poet.

He has thus emphasized the constant spiritual and truth-seeking nature of nearly all of Dante's writings. He has also published newspaper articles on several topics.
