Dante Alighieri At the Bargello Museum
Dante Aligheri is without doubt one of the illustrious sons of Florence, for his writings (among which “Divina Commedia” where he recounts in verses the journey from Hell, Purgatory and Paradise and “Vita Nuova” where he sings his love for Beatrice) that created the foundation of the Italian language and for his life, a pattern of political passion.dante As in any family, between mother Florence and its famous son there were also forgettable moments, one of the most dramatic ones taking place in 1302, the year when Dante was condemned to perpetual exile and his house was burned to the ground because of the political disputes of which he was a protagonist; from then on the great poet will wander in exile until 1321 and he will end his earthly life at Ravenna, where he is still buried now. .
