An invitation to reflect on Dante’s divine obsession with language, poetry and the making of meaning. Is there something we can learn from it that would re-tool our own ability to bridge the gap between saying and signifying? The IHCC-NY, Inc., joined by the John D. Calandra Italian American Institute and the Società Dante Alighieri NYC, Inc., is happy to present this series to commemorate the 700th anniversary of Dante’s death.
