The dating of the Divine Comedy

n the occasion of Dantedì Puntuale 2024 week, the meeting with Mirco Manuguerra, president of the Lunigianese Center for Dante Studies, will take place on Tuesday 2 April, at 5pm in the Largo Pessagno auditorium. The anniversary of Dantedì has been set on March 25th of each year, a conventional date of Dante's exit from the "dark forest". However, the astronomical reference of the full moon indicates a different date. Manuguerra himself, among the founders in 1978 of the Spezzini Amateur Astronomers Association and then founder and president in 1998 of the Lunigianese Center for Dante Studies, will present an astronomical, philological and theological study-demonstration of the precise date of the beginning of Dante's journey.
