Dear Sant’Anna Community and Colleagues,
In conjunction with the first Dante Day (March 25th), the Italian national day dedicated to Dante Alighieri, we are proud to announce the release of La Divina Commedia per Stranieri – Inferno (Edilingua 2020) by Sant’Anna Institute Academic Director Dr. Marco Marino and Italian Faculty Professor Domenico Palumbo.
The Divine Comedy for Foreigners – Inferno is the first volume of three volumes dedicated to Dante Alighieri’s masterpiece and aims to make known and understood the beauty and poetic-literary value of Dante’s Hell.
Published primarily for a target audience of foreign university students (Levels B1+/C2 according to the European Framework of Reference for Languages), The Divine Comedy for Foreigners – Inferno offers, for the first time, the opportunity for all fans of the Italian language and culture to get to know Dante’s 9 Cantos of Hell through two parallel reading paths that make up each canto.
- The Red Path presents the summary and the text in a simplified manner and is designed for intermediate level students.
- The Blue Path presents the original text with useful comments for further study and cultural references to deepen and stimulate a reflection on Italian current affairs and is designed for advanced level students.
