Dante's Plaque: Dante's House

...I' FUI NATO E CRESCIUTO SOVRA 'L BEL FIUME D'ARNO ALLA GRAN VILLA

DANTE, INF., XXIII, 94-95

…BORN WAS I, AND GREW UP IN THE GREAT TOWN ON THE FAIR RIVER OF ARNO

These are Dante’s words in response to the question asked by two friars, in the circle of hypocrites. In the poet’s answer and in the adjectives he chose, we guess his homesickness for Florence: the river, the Arno, is beautiful; the city, Florence, is large, where the term "large" refers not only to the city’s geographical extent, but also to its reputation.

This Dante’s plaque is located at 2, Via Dante Alighieri, near the Museo Casa di Dante, a reconstruction of the Alighieri’s House dating back the early 1900s.
