Abstract:
Explores the life of Dante Alighieri and his most prolific work, "The divine comedy", through reenactments and interviews with experts.

Dante Alighieri's "The Divine Comedy" is arguably the greatest single work ever created in the history of Western literature. Explore the mesmerizing story, at once dreamlike and hyper-real, that unfolds within the poem itself; the story of how Dante managed to create it under such unpromising circumstances, and how it has been transmitted over time.
