From May 25th to September 29th, the spaces of the Contemporary History Library “Alfredo Oriani” in Ravenna host DANTE PLUS – a collective exhibition, curated by Marco Miccoli “Bonobolabo“, which this year will be dedicated not only to the Supreme Dante Alighieri, but also to Lord Byron, an English poet who stayed in our city between 1819 and 1821.
Dante is the most famous poet in the world, and the Divine Comedy has undoubtedly inspired every generation since. The 200th anniversary of Lord Byron’s death provides an opportunity to reflect on the richness and diversity of Europe’s modern literary heritage. Both authors will leave an indelible mark on world literature.
For this 9th edition of Dante Plus, 40 artists were selected to compose a diverse, rich and irreverent journey.
The image, created as the event poster by Turin-based artist Marcello Baldari, is a tribute to the famous one by Warhol and Basquiat (New York, 1985).
