“Mr Thoms (Diego Della Posta) was invited to head a project to celebrate young people in Dante’s world, inspired by Dante’s reference in Vita Nova of ‘Gioventude, etate che puote giovare’ (Youth, ages that can benefit). The students, under Mr Thoms’ direction, created this stunning mural on the wall outside their school in the region of Frosinone, Lazio.”

Frank Schroeder, Dante’s Inferno (2018)
“Of this work, Schroeder writes: ‘After reading The Divine Comedy, I was interested in having my own version of Hell and its different circles… I wanted my version more like a play than a painting. I wanted to describe all the mixed feelings in Hell: justice, tears, cries, desperation, evil, suffering, redemption and sorrows. For me, Hell is not necessarily black and dark… The use of colors is also to illustrate the three parts of the poem: Hell, Purgatory and Heaven. My Inferno becomes a ballet where souls, evils, judgments and penalties are mixed… Maybe we can be better and win our place in Heaven walking through the Good and The Bad. Our souls can be delivered from evil through this long and hard journey. My Inferno is a theatre, a global vision of Hell and its circles, but also a sacred song of redemption.'” —Artistic Interpretations: Frank Schroeder, Cornell University Library’s Visions of Dante Exhibition, curated by Andrew C. Weislogel and Laurent Ferri (2021; retrieved October 26, 2022)
