Dante Alighieri, universally recognized as the father of the Italian language, wrote theDivine Comedybetween 1300 and 1321, the year of his death. It is the most important literary testimony of medieval civilization and one of the greatest works of universal literature. The Divine Comedy recounts an imaginary journey through the three realms of the afterlife—Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise—offering a glimpse into medieval morality and ethics and the worldview that developed within the Catholic Church. Divided into 3 Canticles, composed of 33 songs structured in tercets.
Marlen has created a collection of 3 pens to celebrate the 700th anniversary of Dante Alighieri's death.
