On February 10th at 6:00 PM, the British Institute of Florence will host a virtual lecture about Dante’s dramatic love/hate relationship with Florence. This talk by Italian art and language expert, Alexandra Lawrence, will look at Dante and his multitude of emotions about his ‘Fiorenza’. Exiled in 1302 over a political fight, the sommo poeta both excoriates and expresses extraordinary nostalgia for his hometown in his masterwork, The Divine Comedy. This event is part of the official 700 Dante Firenze celebrations.
