Dante for everyone, seniors and children, just as you don't study in school books with workshops and readings in dialect and even through a comic.
This is the initiative of Aics (Italian association of culture and sport) in collaboration with the Italian network of popular culture to pay homage to the Supreme Poet 700 years after his death.
Reading the Divine Comedy in dialect -
In collaboration with the Italian network of popular culture, the reading marathon of the Divine Comedy in the different dialects will involve the whole peninsula.
The texts will be provided by the Tullio De Mauro Fund to the provincial committees of AiCSe to the schools of the national territory.
Every 25th of the month, starting from DanteDì (25 March) and throughout 2021, until November when the Festival of Popular Culture in Turin will start, a column dedicated to the speeches that will arrive at the Fund from each territory will be broadcast on Tradiradio.org Italian.
Registrations can be made by anyone also through the network portal in the "Donate your voice" section.
In the cities of Ravenna, Verona, Portico di Romagna, Chitignano, Poppi, Gubbio, Terra del Sole, AiCS will organize eight conferences dedicated to the link between the city and Dante and to the cultural and historical customs and uses of the time in which the Poet lived,
The Comic -
Written and drawn by Francesco D'Onofrioe Raffaele Posulu, the cartoon of Dante's life is divided into four fundamental "phases": the love for Beatrice, the friendship with other poets of the Dolce Stil Novo, the political clash between Black and white Guelphs, exile away from Florence.
Each "phase" is told in two parts: one in writing, in which the authors address the young man or girl who reads, and the other in comics, which portray important and significant moments in the poet's life.
At the end of the booklet, boys and girls will find questions for understanding the text and games of skill, based on the character and his works.
