Having studied Dante at the Lyceum, my husband still knows parts of the Divine Comedy by heart, I think it is amazing, because the language is really not easy to memorize, being quite different from modern Italian.
See here the evolution ...
quote:The Italian language was a result of the genius of Dante to create an acceptable amalgamation of the various dialects into a masterfully consistent language for use throughout Italy.
The beautiful Italian language
quote:Consider your origin; you were not born to live like brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge.
Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy
VIRTUE AND KNOWLEDGE ... may we follow this PATH, ALWAYS!
Love and Light.
