Cultural organizations and Italian regions are conducting various initiatives to honor Italian heritage and the legacy of Dante Alighieri. In Monaco, the Società Dante Alighieri Monaco Committee launched its 2026-2027 season, themed ‘Italy in dialogue between past and future’. This season includes presentations on health and scientific culture. Meanwhile, in Ravenna, the 15th edition of the ‘Prospettiva Dante’ festival concludes in late September, featuring maestro Riccardo Muti, who is set to receive the Dante-Ravenna prize for his contributions to Italian language and music. Further commemorations for the 705th anniversary of Dante Alighieri’s death are taking place across Italy. In ~~Ravenna, scheduled events include readings of the ‘Divine Comedy’ at the poet’s tomb and the Basilica of San Francesco. In~~ Calabria, the ‘Nel Nome di Dante’ festival in Cerenzia aims to link humanist culture with modern innovation and regional identity, inspired by literary themes regarding Dante’s exile. In Ravenna, the city recently held a series of events to mark the 705th anniversary of the poet’s death, including the Transitus ceremony and programs involving various local institutions and associations. Mayor Alessandro Barattoni and Cultural Policy Councilor Fabio Sbaraglia expressed satisfaction with the high level of community participation, noting that the connection between the city and the poet remains a “living bond rather than a mere historical memory,” serving as inspiration for interpreting the present day.
