Sommario
The Divine Comedy by the medieval poet Dante Alighieri has fascinated artists around the world for centuries. The theme of the evocative capacity of Dante's reality stimulates research on the visual level and between the two wars the debate focuses on reproducing the three Canticles in sculpture or architecture. Therefore, in the first half of the twentieth century in Italy a series of projects for architectural monuments was born, the authors of which wanted to build Dante's work, express poetic verse with architectural means and give shape to its contents. The ideas were never realized. Dante's projects were proposed by artists and architects, not all equally known today, but who were active protagonists of Italian and world culture in the early twentieth century, careful observers of the art trends of their time. These are Cesare Laurenti, Armando Brasini, Giuseppe Terragni et al. The architectural monuments to Dante are located between the 1910s and 1930s. All the projects analyzed in the work reflect the ideological horizon of their creators and clients.
