Citings & Sightings of Dante's Works in Contemporary Culture
“An Illinois federal judge invoked the poet Dante in a description of fee litigation as an ‘inner circle of judicial hell’ as he imposed a $2.5 million attorney fees sanction for discovery violations in long-running trademark dispute between rival e-cigarette companies.” — Carolyn Muyskens, “Judge Invokes Dante’s Inferno In $2.5M Sanctions Order,” Law360, October 7, 2022.
“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.”
