Durante degli Alighieri, mononymously referred to as Dante (/ˈdænti/, US /ˈdɑːnteɪ/; Italian: [ˈdante]; c1265--1321), was an Italian poet, prose writer, literary theorist, moral philosopher, and political thinker.

Dante is also called the "Father of the Italian language". The Divine Comedy (Italian: Divina Commedia) is an epic poem written by Dante Alighieri between 1308 and his death in 1321. It is widely considered the preeminent work of Italian literature, and is seen as one of the greatest works of world literature. The poem's imaginative and allegorical vision of the afterlife is a culmination of the medieval world-view as it had developed in the Western Church. It helped establish the Tuscan dialect, in which it is written, as the standardized Italian language. It is divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. On the surface, the poem describes Dante's travels through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven; but at a deeper level, it represents allegorically the soul's journey towards God.

Before arriving at NYU's historic law school, Giorgio Napolitano briefly visited Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò. We were among those present, including professors and PhD students as well as several board members who looked forward to Napolitano's visit with great excitement and interest. It was an important event for this cultural institution that celebrates its twentieth anniversary this year. Napolitano was greeted by Casa's Director Stefano Albertini, and founder and chair Baronessa Mariuccia Zerilli-Marimò. Attendees included the head of the Italian Studies department Professor Virginia Cox, members of Casa Italiana's advisory board, as well as faculty members and graduate students. Baronessa Zerilli-Marimò reminded everyone about Casa's 20-year history filled with hard work and success, while Professor Albertini explained how students are immersed in the study of Italian literature, history, and art history that covers every historical period. Baronessa Zerilli-Marimò bestowed Casa Italiana's medal of honor on the President to recognize his commitment to supporting the arts, science, and culture. President Napolitano spoke about the beauty of the history of the Italian unification. "From the unification we must gather a reason to trust each other so that we may carry on the work that awaits us in further consolidating our national unity to allow Italian democracy and society to move forward."

Book Your Hotel in Milano: www.booking.com Milan is a city in Italy and the capital of the region of Lombardy and of the province of Milan. The city proper has a population of about 1300000, while the urban area is the fifth largest in the European Union with an estimated population of 4300000 million. The Milan metropolitan area, by far the largest in Italy, is estimated by the OECD to have a population of 7400000 million. The city was founded under the name of Mediolanum by the Insubres, a Celtic people. It was later captured by the Romans in 222 BC, and the city became very successful under the Roman Empire. Later Milan was ruled by the Visconti, the Sforza, the Spanish in the 1500s and the Austrians in the 1700s. In 1796, Milan was conquered by Napoleon I and he made it the capital of his Kingdom of Italy in 1805.[4][5] During the Romantic period, Milan was a major cultural centre in the Europe, attracting several artists, composers and important literary figures. Later, during World War II, the city was badly affected by Allied bombings, and after German occupation in 1943, Milan became the main hub of the Italian resistance. Despite this, Milan saw a post-war economic growth, attracting thousands of immigrants from Southern Italy and abroad. An international and cosmopolitan city, 13.9% of Milan's population is from abroad.The city remains one of Europe's main transportational and industrial hubs, and Milan is one of the EU's most important centres for business and ...
