Dante e Santa Maria Nuova

The ancient hospital of Santa Maria Nuova is particularly related to Dante Alighieri: it was founded in 1288 by Folco Portinari, Beatrice’s father, in the neighborhood where both the Alighieris and the Portinaris lived. The book collects the contributions presented in the “Dante and Santa Maria Nuova” series of meetings promoted by the Santa Maria Nuova Foundation and Kent State University on the occasion of the celebrations of the Seventh Centenary of the death of Dante Alighieri.

Text in Italian by Franco Cardini, Giovanni Cipriani, Donato Massaro, Mario Pagni, Fabrizio Ricciardelli, and Esther Diana.
