Why set out on a hike with Dante? Because walking is a “Dantesque” form of art. And because walking through a landscape is an act of art, which can transform one’s point of view and way of listening. Because creating poems, songs, stories and artworks together with the ‘Poet of Exile’ will be an extraordinary opportunity, good for one’s soul and heart. Musicians, singers, poets, ottava rimaimprovisers, musical chefs, puppeteers and hikers will set off together, walking from Florence to Ravenna to celebrate the Supreme Poet in the places where he lived, in the 700thanniversary of his death. This highly symbolic event opens in Florence, touches on charming villages and on the places Dante celebrated, to end with a concert in the Apennines, near Ravenna.
