Dante is one of the main contents of our school curricula. And he is certainly the most studied Italian author, even in schools abroad.
Are Dante’s works just an important part of the cultural background that has to be acquired? or do they provide an education to more authentic humanity, more aware of itself and the world? Is it possible to interest young people in this poet, his life and his works, and even make them passionate about him?
Through this meeting, we will be able to participate in a generational transition in identifying with the experience of the great poet, we will discover how young and old have been able to find in him a master of knowledge and a teacher of life. It is an encounter about Dante, learned and popular, wise and simple, teacher and friend.
