Dante's Inferno - A Natural History

"Dante's Inferno has been extensively illustrated, with accompanying notes, by Fabrica. A brandnew book published by Mondadori, appearing in bookstores from May 25.

More than 300 illustrations, all hand-made using different techniques and all accompanied by in-depth notation: a meticulous work, which gives the reader a fresh and original interpretation of one of the greatest masterpieces of everlasting literature.

Fabrica assigned this project to two young English artists, Patrick Waterhouse and Walter Hutton". [Fabrica's website]

"On June 7 at 9 pm Italian singer-songwriter Morgan interprets Dante at Fabrica. This inventive blend of contemporary culture and immortal poetry to help us understand the present, celebrates the release of a new edition of Dante's Inferno, published by Mondadori, illustrated and commentated by Benetton's creative laboratory."
