La Pieta Nell'Inferno Dantesco

In this compelling study of Dante's Inferno, della Torre examines the paradoxical figure of La Pieta, a mother figure who appears in the midst of a landscape of suffering and damnation. Through a careful analysis of Dante's text and its historical and cultural context, della Torre explores the ways in which La Pieta functions as a symbol of hope and redemption in a world of despair. This is a must-read for anyone interested in Dante, medieval literature, or the history of religious symbolism.
