This exhibition is part of the celebration of the 700th anniversary of the death of Dante Alighieri and pays homage to his most famous work, The Divine Comedy, whose tradition in pictorial representation is as rich as it is boundless and offers us a world of references and iconic models of great depth. In this exhibition, the works are presented in a concrete and detailed way, created by the Spanish painter Jordi Diaz Alamà in collaboration with the Polish sculptor Grzegorz Gwiazda.

The epic poem tells the story of a vision, of a journey in which Dante, transported to the supernatural world of medieval theology, contemplates the torments of the damned in Hell, the purification of souls in Purgatory, and the joys of the Righteous in Paradise. The Si Volse a Retro series focuses on the different scenes of Hell, pictorially materializing Dante's most impressive imagery.
