A lecture by Alexandra Lawrence
Imposing tower houses, warring factions, plague, floods, intrigue, power and poetry: this is Dante’s Florence. Alexandra Lawrence takes us deep into this world and visits some of the great poet’s haunts, including Santa Croce, the Badia Fiorentina, Dante's ‘house’ and the Baptistery. Illustrated with images and captivating passages from the Divine Comedy, we will immerse ourselves fully in Dante’s Florentine life.
