I finished the bible, but the commentaries were a bit modernist, so ask for a good trad bible commentary. I want to read Leonardo Castellani's Apocalypse, but I don't know good comments for the rest of the bible.

The Haydock Bible Commentary by Father George Leo Haydock, published in 1859. Here is a link to an online version which is "interlinear" with the Douay-Rheims: https://haydockcommentary.com/ (https://haydockcommentary.com/)
It is available in hardcopy. The commentary may be available as a "stand alone reference" but I've only seen it together with the Douay-Rheims text.
Here is a short bio of Father Haydock from the Catholic Encyclopedia:

There is a lengthier bio at Wikipedia

I think the best is by Cornelius a Lapide, but as far as I know only the Gospels are translated into English.

Catena Aurea is also good for Gospels. Unfortunately I don't know any good traditional commentaries on the other biblical texts.
