Priority will be given to projects that manage to explore one of the following festival focus themes, inspired by the figure of Dante, on the seventh centenary of his death:
• “Imaginary Geographies“: starting from Dante’s inspirations and the Poet’s ability to describe an imaginary world, full of fantastic suggestions but with distinct topographical features, the festival will explore the theme of representation and narration of space, geographies and topographies, between historical-realistic and fantastic-imaginative dimensions.
• “Ideal Loves“. In the words of Giulio Ferroni, “love in the Divine Comedy is everywhere and takes on many forms: passionate and familiar, earthly and divine, desperate and sweet. It is love, in fact, that gives Dante the true impetus to undertake his journey from the underworld to heaven. Starting from these suggestions, the Festival will explore the theme of ideal love. How has the idea of love changed over the centuries? How has the way of representing it changed? How have the typical characteristics of the ideal man and woman changed??
