As part of the ARD series “Classics of World Literature” by and with Tilman Spengler, a short film (in German) presents the life and, as an outstanding work, the “Divina Commedia” by => DANTE ALIGHIERI (1265 to 1321) – the great poet in the Italian language and creator of the above-mentioned “Divine Comedy”. The Florentine native died and was buried in Ravenna. Let us hope that he has actually reached heaven – like his literary alter ego – and that he has found his dearly beloved Beatrice there. Anyone who would like to find out more in the ARD media library (the German-language film only lasts a quarter of an hour) just needs to follow the link: https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/klassiker-der-weltliteratur/dante-alighieri/ard-alpha/Y3JpZDovL2JyLmRlL3ZpZGVvL2E0YmE3OWQzLTk2NjAtNGUyYS04OTBlLTY2N2E5YmJjNGZlNw
