Alessandro Barbero - Raccontare Dante

The Divine Comedy was and is certainly a "popular" work, as its enormous success, spreading far beyond the narrow circle of educated readers, confirms. This occurred primarily for two reasons. First, because it continually draws on a collective imagination, widely disseminated through legends, preaching, and figurative tradition such as the Biblia pauperum. Second, because Dante's poetry itself possesses the ability to make everything it touches concrete and alive, proving itself intimately "realistic" and managing to constantly engage the reader through the evocation of the emotions of the characters depicted in the poem.
