Dante: "The inventor of Hell" or Florence in 1200.
Tour description
On the centenary of the Poet's death, we will take you on an extraordinary journey into the bowels and darkness of "Hell": through the story and compelling verses of the Divine Comedy , which still today speak to us of the vices and virtues of his fellow citizens. Together, we will meet famous figures, his contemporaries, who, in their torments, recount their harrowing stories and tragedies. People who will help us discover the daily life of the time, the so-called "Dark Ages." Their stories will be so engaging that you will soon be involuntarily fascinated and will wonder if they really deserve such a severe sentence, characterized by merciless and never-ending suffering. Together, we will discover the reasons why the Poet, with contempt and irony, and sometimes with respect, places them in the bowels of hell. We will ask ourselves why the Poet has such a complex and contradictory personality. The narration of the heartbreaking love between Dante and Beatrice cannot be missed. We will end the journey with the Meeting of the Chief of the Devils: Lucifer. But do not be afraid, the Supreme Poet will protect you. Itinerary.
