Visions of hell: Dante's imagination and the Buddhist perspective.

with Fabian Sanders

On the occasion of the 700th anniversary of Dante's death, the Merigar Library is organizing: Visions of hell: Dante's imagination and the Buddhist perspective.

The visions of the underworld, beyond the bloody and gruesome imaginaries, reveal many conceptions about the world, life and human existence. Our presentation will compare some aspects that emerge from Dante's verses with current ideas in the Tibetan world.

For organizational reasons, english translation will be available only online.

afety information

As required by the latest Prime Ministerial Decree, starting from 6 August 2021, for events that take place indoors, participants must have the so-called 'green pass'. This involves showing a certification attesting to having received at least one dose of the vaccine, or being cured of Covid, or having a negative swab performed within the previous 48 hours. Participants will still have to sanitize their hands at the entrance, keep the spacing of at least 1 meter, and wear a mask.

Those who have a fever or flu-like symptoms may not participate, nor can anyone who has been recently in contact with people with Covid-19.
