GEOGRAFIA DELLE ANIME NELLA COMMEDIA

Abstract

Geography of Souls in the Comedy. – The purpose of this essay is to demonstrate how the geographical dimension is very important in a work like the Commedia, despite it being set in an ‘aldilà’ with a totally fantastic topography. Among the many geographical references that can be traced back, particularly significant are those connected and provided directly by the souls that Dante meets, so much so that it is possible to speak of a real ‘geography of souls’ in the Comedy.
