November 3, 2021 By Harrison Betz, FSU '25

divine-comedy-nft-screenshot“THΞ DIVINΞ COMΞDY project consists of 700 NFTs with randomly combined Canti of Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso as a celebration of the 700th anniversary of Dante Alighieri’s death.

“The Divine Comedy represents a 14th-century vision of the afterlife, describing Dante’s journey through the three realms of the dead: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. Today Dante’s masterpiece is widely considered to be the pre-eminent work in Italian literature and one of the greatest works of world literature.
