Description
The two authors chose the "moments" and concepts that they deemed fundamental for the simplified representation of the pilgrimage in the world of damnation, purification and bliss and translated them into images and hendecasyllables. Symbols, shapes, language, colors remodel Dante's poem, the imagination and the culture of that era in a respectful and at the same time playful way, so as to be able to pinch the strings of the imagination and the imaginative strength of the little ones. Bilingual Italian and English text, so that more children around the world can feel the magic of the Divine Comedy.
