(ANSA) – ROME, 02 DEC – “Seeing” the words of the Supreme Poet through the pictorial gesture of one of the greatest artists: after the Milanese debut last week, on December 8 arrives at the Olympic Theater in Rome “Dante Giotto and love “, the conference-show by and with Vittorio Sgarbi, from an idea by Sabrina Colle. Scheduled until December 12, the show reveals the work of the two great Italian geniuses through an unprecedented dialogue in which, following the red thread of love, the literary component of Dante’s Comedy finds an extraordinary visual correspondence in Giotto’s pictorial pages. On stage for about two hours, Sgarbi will read words and images, creating references and connections and dissolving for the public the complexity of two unique artists, to explain why they were able to condition the stylistic models to come and to influence the philosophical, social and spiritual. Accompanying him on stage Valentino Corvino with his live music, and a video by Elide Blind and Simone Tacconelli. After having recounted the figures of Caravaggio in his theatrical performances (his debut at the La Versiliana Festival in 2015), Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael, for his fifth show Sgarbi therefore chooses to double the protagonists in the field, in an in-depth investigation that he wants to be “a belated homage to the 700th anniversary of Dante’s death, characterized however in a unique way thanks to Giotto”. “This is my answer to what Benigni did, whose reading of Dante I found monophonic, insipid, hosted in the palaces of power such as the Quirinale”, the art critic argues polemically, “the Divine Comedy must be explained, translated, because some passages are too difficult. In my show I will translate the most cryptic songs, as if we were going back to school “.
