A chance to explore one of the great epics of European literature, written early in the 14th century.
Who was Dante and how and why did he come to write his epic poem? What is the poem all about? We'll look at a few extracts from the poem and also find out how Italian people learn about Dante and Dante's influence on the Italian language. We'll look, too, at his influence on other artists. And you'll learn about the mystery of Dante's tomb.
To keep you on your toes, the workshop will feature several quizzes!
NO KNOWLEDGE OF ITALIAN IS REQUIRED FOR THIS WORKSHOP!
