Alessandro Vettori (Rutgers University) will present his book, Dante’s Prayerful Pilgrimage: Typologies of Prayer in the Comedy (Brill, 2019).

In his book, Vettori provides a comprehensive analysis of the prayerful phenomenon in Dante’s Commedia and considers prayer a poetic/metaphorical pilgrimage of the soul toward the vision of the Trinity, while also reflecting Dante’s own exilic experience.
