He was considered the father of the Italian language, as he was credited with using the vernacular when most poets of the time used Latin as the medium of expression, which made most poetry accessible only to the affluent and educated class. Dante was also one of the first to use the vernacular in poetry and influence others. He wrote the <em>Divine Comedy<\/em> in the vernacular, which was revolutionary.<\/p><p>After introducing Dante, Dr Daniela continued to share Dante\u2019s famous work <em>Divine Comedy<\/em>, an epic poem written in the first person between 1308 and 1321. Dr Daniela led the audience on Dante\u2019s allegorical journey of the soul through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven by touching on different Western artistic and literary works.<\/p><p>Dr Daniela concluded Dante\u2019s <em>Divine Comedy<\/em> from an artistic point of view, and ended the talk with the last line of the <em>Inferno<\/em> canto.<\/p><p><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6ef0336 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6ef0336\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-96c5971\" data-id=\"96c5971\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9e6132c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9e6132c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"573\" height=\"292\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Picture1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Dr Daniela showing the portrait of Dante Alighieri\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"> Dr Daniela showing the portrait of Dante Alighieri<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-97a62ba elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"97a62ba\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bd1204b\" data-id=\"bd1204b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aef4530 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"aef4530\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"576\" height=\"324\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Picture2.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Dr Daniela introduces the audience to the Map of Hell by Sandro Botticelli.\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"> Dr Daniela introduces the audience to the Map of Hell by Sandro Botticelli.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"25 February 2022 The School of Translation and Foreign Languages public lecture entitled \u201cDante\u2019s Divine Comedy in Art\u201d was delivered by Dr Daniela Cecutti on 25 February 2022.
