The course aims to focus on some characters of Dante’s Comedy, with particular reference to sources and ancient exegesis, but also investigating the fortune of some of the protagonists of Dante’s poem in modern culture. Dante’s encounters with figures from the classical world (such as Ulisse and Diomede) and the biblical tradition (such as Adamo), from the historical facts of the 13th and 14th century (such as Francesca da Rimini, Guido and Bonconte da Montefeltro, Frate Alberigo and Branca Doria, Romeo di Villanova, Piccarda Donati) or linked to Dante’s intellectual and familiar autobiography (such as Beatrice herself and Cacciaguida) will be re-examined. Special attention will be also dedicated to romance poets (such as Bonagiunta e Guinizzelli).
