Abstract

Dante «passionato» secondo Boccaccio
The essay aims to examine Boccaccio’s interpretation of the famous and controversial feeling of pity shown by Dante-character in the Inferno. Boccaccio, moving from a biographical reading of the poem, develops a consistent and original interpretation of Dante’s pity, which is based on the recognition of the ethical dimension of passions within Dante’s path of redemption.
