The initiative proposed by the Third University aims to explore Dante Alighieri’s civic passion, analyzing how the poet denounced the evils of his time to call his contemporaries to moral redemption. The course offers a glimpse into the author’s life, weaving together historical aspects and lesser-known details—such as his relationships with his father, his children, and Beatrice—to paint a human portrait that goes beyond the mythical figure.
The program includes an analysis of the characteristics of the *Comedìa*—a work through which Dante sought to contribute to the renewal of society—along with a reading and commentary on the main cantos devoted to civic themes.

The event, organized by Gabriele Laterza, will take place on Friday, November 13, at 2:45 p.m. in the elementary school auditorium. The course fee is 32 euros.
