HTML version by Al Haines. "La Divina Commedia di Dante" by Dante Alighieri is an epic poem written in the 14th century. The work presents a profound allegorical journey through the realms of the afterlife, specifically exploring themes of sin, redemption, and divine justice. The protagonist, Dante himself, embarks on a journey through Hell (Inferno), guided by the ancient Roman poet Virgil, as they confront various torments and encounters that symbolically reflect human moral conditions. The beginning of the poem introduces Dante as he finds himself lost in a dark wood, symbolizing confusion and moral despair, as he strays from the right path in life. He faces various beasts that impede his progress: a leopard, a lion, and a she-wolf, representing different sins. Eventually, he encounters Virgil, who offers his guidance, revealing that Dante must descend into Hell before he can hope to reach salvation. This powerful opening sets the stage for the exploration of sin and the complexity of the human soul, establishing a tone of urgency and the quest for understanding within the chaos of moral failure.
