The artists were also asked to express a thought on the work and figure of Dante, in a personal dialogue between visual and literary expression. To complete the event, a beautiful catalogue published by Giorgio Mondadori with texts by Giuseppe Siano, Giuseppe Arnone, Boris Brollo, Ernesto Cappelletto, Marina Dalla Vedova. Back cover by Francesco Borzani.
"... And here these painters and sculptors are called to give us their own interpretation of their own inner hell more or less symptomatic of their own human and psychic discomfort. Knowing that then we will perhaps get out of it also thanks to their own works/visions so "we went out to see the stars". The struggle with one's own hell is over and the peace of accepting it itself (hell) gives us the calm to face the "how other people's bread tastes like salt."
