"...che mi fa sovvenir del mondo antico". Archaeology and the Divine Comedy

The Civic Archaeological Museum of Bologna celebrates the seven hundredth anniversary of Dante Alighieri's death by dedicating to him a temporary exhibition which, through materials of various provenance, all belonging to its own heritage, analyses historical myths and traditions of the ancient world, taken up and reworked in a Christian key in the construction of the Afterlife of the Divine Comedy.

Exhibition curated by Marinella Marchesi
