Bargellini imagined the newborn Dante swinging in his cradle in the shade of such tree, Dante himself employed the image of the sweet fig tree in his Comedy: a metaphor for ideal Florentine virtues contrasting with the establishment of his time, as rough as the rock from which it came. Indeed, it was a member of the Sacchetti family that had Geri di Bello Alighieri murdered for political gains - a family originating from rocky Fiesole. The great fig tree no longer protected Dante's youth. Lapo, Francesco...the balance of the district was now upset.\u003cbr\u003eThese and other events - as curious as they are dramatic - are fundamental in researching the places of Dante's life\u003cbr\u003ein Florence: the gardens in between the Churches of San Martino and Santa Margherita, the shady alleys behind Badia Fiorentina, the towers of the Cerchi and Donati families.\u003cbr\u003eBased on the script of a video documentary and conceived as a guide, the aim of this book is to provide a reference for the readers to immerse themselves in not just a place - but in the history of a complex and fascinating quest whose knots were untied about a century ago, and which still echoes in our souls as of today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.24 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 29, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53521951621427,"sku":"9788832211979","price":27.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/17NeQ3pnZI9788832211979.webp?v=1781961447","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/dante-and-his-neighbourhood-in-florence-the-place-where-he-lived-his-houses-and-his-churches-the-question-of-the-fig-tree-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
