| Summary: | According to the medieval view, there is a natural desire in man to see God (St Thomas). Dante embraces this perspective and transposes it into his Comedy, which can be defined as the trilogy of desire, first as desire that is betrayed and petrified in damnation (Inferno); second, as desire betrayed, but redeemed in purification (Purgatory); and third, desire that is fully realised in the Supreme Good (Paradise). Along this path, the woman (Beatrice, but not only she) plays a decisive role. Dante’s centenary is an invitation to take this extraordinary journey with Dante, first and foremost within ourselves. |
