The Divine ComedyThe Divine Comedy (La Divina Commedia) by Dante Alighieri (Durante di Alighiero degli Alighieri). A “comedy”, that became a “divine book” for ancestors, is one of the greatest works of art known to the world.

A great poetic genius of the author put this comedy above the era and made it a legacy of centuries. |

world's leaders, in the blessed beak Was silent; for that all those living lights,
Waxing in splendour, burst forth into songs, Such as from memory glide and fall
away.
