The series of meetings on Dante Alighieri moves online!
The"Marsilio Ficino" Academy invites you to follow the last event of "Nel Mezzo del Cammin di Nostra Vita" virtually: in fact, it will be possible to connect and participate from home in the event held live from the Aula Magna of the Marsilio Ficino Institute in Figline.
The link will open at 10 a.m. with greetings from Lawyer Sabrina Dei, president of the Academy's Social Promotion Association. Afterwards, the floor will be passed to Stefano Quaglia, classicist as well as principal of the "Lavinia Mondin" Paritarian Institute in Verona, who will read and comment from Dante's Divine Comedy on Canto XXVI of Inferno. Immersed in the eighth circle, where the "fraudulent counselors" lodge, we will listen to the traveler's criticism of Ulysses, who with his words managed to deceive his companions.
At 11:30 a.m., writer and teacher of Humanities at the "Giuseppe Mazzini" Middle School in Rome, Enrico Castelli Gattinara will talk about his book How Dante pcan save your life. Knowcere always makespre the difference (Giunti Editore, Florence 2019). An antidote to ignorance that takes its cue from a true story, that of a man who by bringing Dante's tercets to mind on a daily basis managed to escape the personal destruction of the concentration camp.
Moderating the entire meeting will be Don Carmelo Mezzasalma, writer, literary critic and teacher of Italian Literature in the "Marsilio Ficino" Classical and Scientific High Schools.
