La mirabile visione: Abbozzo d'una storia della Divina Comedia

In this lyrical meditation the narrator addresses his native Ravenna while turning its ancient streets into a stage for a fresh dialogue with Dante’s masterpiece. He positions himself as a modest traveler, caught between past sorrows and a present yearning for the “mystic moon” that guides the soul out of darkness. The prose flows like a storm‑tossed wind, inviting listeners to hear the echo of medieval verses in today’s restless mind.

Through a series of loosely connected essays the work explores the first vision of the Divine Comedy, the hope of the blessed, the symbolism of love and the three ferocious beasts that guard the path. It weaves together reflections on freedom, grace, and the timeless struggle to emerge from the forest of human fault. The tone remains intimate and contemplative, making the complex medieval themes feel immediate and resonant for modern ears.
