from hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube and Spotify for his lessons, author of 'Dante' (Laterza).
"The scholars, the literati knew him, had read the Inferno and Purgatorio that Dante had immediately published. In the case of Paradise, the poet, perhaps because he felt the end was approaching, had not waited to complete the canticle in order to spread it: the conclusion of the Comedy, everyone was eager to know it. "
The idea that the poet himself appeared in a dream to his son Jacopo to reveal where he had hidden the last songs of Paradise "is not credible in itself, but it is a beautiful story", Barbero is passionate about.
The 'Dante' of Avati reconstructs the human story of the poet entrusting it to the story of Boccaccio-Castellitto, in charge in 1350 to bring 10 gold florins - as symbolic compensation for the exile to which Dante was condemned - to Sister Beatrice, daughter of the poet, nun in Ravenna.
A path that wants to fascinate young people, shedding light on "a young, clumsy Dante who falls in love with Beatrice and gets confused when he sees her. We can no longer stand up - the historian inflames - of Dante, the father of the homeland, grim, frowning, who looks at us with contempt. "
The director, then, "chose very young actors (alongside Sperduti, Carlotta Gamba is Beatrice, Romano Reggiani is Guido Cavalcanti, ed)".
The result is "ungran bella film".
