The documentary, directed by Fabrizio Bancale and produced by the Dante Alighieri Society, pays homage to the Supreme Poet by retracing the paths of his exile. Severe in his pace, shy of character, multifaceted, ironic and edgy, Dante Alighieri was also a secluded, silent and thoughtful man. Visionary, mystical, prophetic, silent and often immersed in his cosmological reflections, the Poet has left us a still vital message that we can recognize by visiting the places where he himself lived or passed more than seven centuries ago.
