The Divine Comedy is a great work, with many facets, in which even the gastronomic aspects find their place and their importance. Rosa Elisa Giangoia, in A convito con Dante, reads the Divine Comedy following this unusual culinary itinerary that reveals itself to be a great opportunity because, in addition to allowing more subtle interpretative implications of the work, it opens up glimpses into the daily life of the author, who sometimes, even with just a simple linguistic hint, a comparison or some other weak clue, gives unexpected possibilities to take a look at his way of life and that of his time.


Rosa Elisa Giangoia, passionate reader of Dante and ancient and modern cooking manuals, has written novels, essays of literary criticism, plays, poetic syllogies and literary gastronomy texts.
