In 2021 the seventh centenary of Dante’s death is celebrated all over the world. Apparently, the great Italian poet lived in Bologna in two different periods of life - in his happy young days and then in the hard years of exile before the Black Guelphs, his mortal enemies, took control of the town. Many hints at Bologna are scattered in his works, while all the Bolognese characters find themselves in Inferno. Only the Saints are saved! The downtown tour crosses the Piazza Maggiore starting from the Church of St. Francesco and heading eastbound to the Porta Maggiore, passing by the Garisenda Tower featured as Antaeus in Inferno. The memorial plaques spread all over the city will help us to understand the Poet’s relationship of hatred and love for Bologna.
