Xia Yuxiang: "Florence also has several cathedrals that are very famous, the Basilica of San Lorenzo, the Chapel of San Giovanni, the Bazzi Chapel, and the Church of Santa Maria Novella, these churches are very similar, due to time constraints, we will not go one by one, the next trip, I plan to take you to Dante's house, and then visit Palazzo Pitti, to end the trip to Florence, and then we will go to Venice on the water, the famous city of Italy.

  "We're all looking forward to it, Venice is very famous, we all want to go!" Qu Lihua clapped.

  Head Xia Yuxiang, "I knew that Qu must want to go to Venice, bring your mobile phone, and take more photos when the time comes!"

  "Let's go, let's go, first go to Dante's house, this Italian Renaissance poet is a famous name, his status in Italy is equivalent to Pushkin in Russia, the Chinese audience may not be familiar with Dante, let's let Oliver introduce you to this famous Italian poet. ”

  Oliver smiled, "Okay, I'll introduce you to this poet, so that everyone can have an understanding of him, if the explanation is not in place, please ask Head Xia to help add!"

  Captain Xia Yuxiang smiled, "Oliver, be modest, I know that you still have a certain understanding of this poet, you are Italian, you are more familiar than us, it's good for you to introduce you!"

  "Okay, since Captain Xia thinks so highly of me, I can't disappoint Captain Xia, I'll do my best, I saw some information about this poet in the textbook, I'll introduce it to you. ”

  "Dante Alighieri, he was an Italian medieval poet, it is amazing to mention this poet, he was the founder of the modern Italian language, the pioneer of the European Renaissance, he left his name for posterity with the epic poem "The Divine Comedy", in Italy he is known as the supreme poet, the father of the Italian language. ”

  "Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio are the pioneers of the Renaissance, known as the 'Renaissance Triumvirate', also known as the 'Three Masters of Literature', Dante is at the top, which shows his high status in the Italian literary world, Dante is the greatest poet in Europe and one of the greatest writers in the world. ”

  "In the 13th century, Florence was the largest center of handicrafts in Italy, and Dante's family had little status and was not financially well-off. When he was five or six years old, his mother Bella died, his father continued to play the strings, and his stepmother gave birth to two younger brothers and a younger sister. ”

  As a young boy, Dante was a thoughtful learner, learning a rudimentary knowledge of Latin, logic, and rhetoric at school, and later studied rhetoric with the famous scholar Brunetin Latini, including the art of acting in public and writing Latin letters. ”

  Through self-study, he was exposed to Latin poetry, French chivalric legends, and Provençal lyric poetry. ”

  At the age of 18, he had already learned to compose poetry, and at that time Florence was at the centre of the gentle new school of poetry founded by the Bolognese poet Guido Guinizzelli, with whom Dante exchanged gifts and formed a close friendship with Guido Cavalcanti, the leader of the school. ”

  He was ruled by his father, engaged to Gemma Donati, and gave birth to several children, but the marriage arranged by his father, his love for Beatrizzi, has always been unforgettable, after Beatrizzi's death, Dante in order to find spiritual sustenance, devoted himself to the study of philosophy. ”

  "He was well-read and had a wide range of knowledge in the field of medieval culture, which provided favorable conditions for his later creations. ”

  In June 1289 he took part in the Battle of Campaldino and in August of the same year in the Battle of Florence against the Castello de Caprona in Pisa. ”

  During his exile and exile, he saw the magnificent rivers and mountains of Italy, came into contact with all levels of society, enriched his life experience, deepened his patriotic thoughts, expanded his horizons from Florence to the whole of Italy and the entire Christian world, realized that he was responsible for exposing reality and awakening people's hearts, and composed his world-famous work "Divine Comedy". ”

  Meng Wenjie: "I have read "The Divine Comedy", it is indeed admirable, I think many accomplished poets have experienced a lot of hardships in life, suffering is the source of literature, people who have not experienced hardships, life is too smooth, it is difficult to create a masterpiece in literature that shocks the world, because the author does not go deep into life, contact people from all walks of life, see less, listen less, he will not have feelings, will not have the motivation to create. ”

  "Only after suffering, having the experience and tempering of life, the author has experience and deep feelings, coupled with his own true feelings, will he create great works. ”

  Oliver nodded, "Yes, you have to be right, as in many works of medieval literature, the plot of the book is full of allegories, and there are many debates about interpretation, but the main idea of the work is quite clear. ”

  "In an age of alternation between the old and the new, the individual and humanity have gone through suffering and trials from confusion and error to the realm of truth and the highest good. ”

  Around this central idea, the Divine Comedy reflects reality extensively, provides an artistic summary of medieval culture, and at the same time shows the dawn of Renaissance humanist thought, and the Divine Comedy has become an important cornerstone of the development of Italian literature. ”

  Dante's house is located in the heart of Florence's old town, on Via Santa Margarita, and due to its age, the houses of this medieval tower have long been old and the façade is yellowed.

  Head Xia Yuxiang: "The fate of poets and writers is mostly tortuous and bumpy, Oliver is right, it is not easy to become a poet, writer, and painter who has left classic masterpieces, and how many hardships and setbacks you have to endure are not good without a certain psychological endurance and anti-frustration ability." ”

  Qu Lihua: "Even after suffering so many setbacks and ups and downs, the poet still longs for a world free of darkness and sin, which was particularly difficult in that era, and it was his poetic characteristic of the new era, and he was called the father of the Italian language and his best social recognition, extremely high praise." ”

  Oliver nodded, "Engels also spoke highly of him, he was the end of the feudal Middle Ages and the beginning of the modern capitalist era, marked by a big man, this figure is the Italian Quanding, he is the last poet of the Middle Ages, and at the same time the first poet of the new era." ”

  Everyone walked into Dante's house to visit, the age is very old, the furnishings are also very simple, are some of Dante's daily necessities, all of which have left traces of the vicissitudes of time and time.

  "In this humble environment, suffering setbacks and ups and downs, and still being able to keep writing, it really takes great perseverance and will, which is really not easy!"

  After visiting Dante's former residence, Qu Lihua and Meng Wenjie have a better understanding of the Italian Renaissance poets, and they also have a sense of respect, literature has no borders, these advanced cultural pioneers at that time did leave a heavy mark in history, and their literary works have also been read and praised by future generations, and will never be submerged in the dust of history.
