Dante Experience

-
5 September - 31 October 2020

On the occasion of the Celebrazioni Dantesche 2020 (Dante Celebrations), and one year from the 700th anniversary of the death of the Supreme Poet Dante Alighieri, Ravenna offers, among the various events, Dante Experience, a rich calendar of guided tours to discover the main places of Dante in this city.

Maybe, not all of you know that Dante’s Tomb is not in Florence but right here, in Ravenna. Here, the greatest poet of Italian literature passed away on the night between 13 and 14 September 1321- after he contracted malaria on his journey backwards from a diplomatic mission in Venice.

This year, the 700th Anniversary Celebrations of Dante Alighieri’s death were inaugurated in Ravenna on 5 September 2020 by the President of the Italian Republic Sergio Mattarella himself.

Lasting until September 2021, the rich calendar of events and solemn celebrations will be sided by a series of unique and suggestive guided tours not to be missed.
