As part of the events organized for the Dante centenary, the Dante Adriaticus project curated by the Provincial Committee of Rome of the National Association of Venezia Giulia and Dalmatia reaches its second stage on Wednesday 30 June and Thursday 1 July. The initiative will take place in the capital with the patronage of the Ministry of Culture, the Lazio Region, the Municipio Roma IX and the Dante Festival. For the events of 30 June, access is free (in compliance with anti-covid provisions), while the events of XNUMX July can be followed live on the CDM YouTube Channel (Multimedia Documentation Center of Julian, Istrian, Rijeka and Dalmatian culture)  http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-Fkl1xelh53k5zGchDSTPg (where they will remain visible also subsequently) and on the Facebook Page Anvgd National Headquarters http://www.facebook.com/Anvgd-Sede-Nazionale-868554539843945 Over the course of these two days, developed by the project's scientific committee (Donatella Schürzel, Maria Grazia Chiappori, Barbara Vinciguerra, Giuliana Eufemia Budicin and Lorenzo Salimbeni), there will be guided tours of Dante's places in Rome, theatrical performances and an international conference. In short, there will be different approaches and different sensibilities to analyze known and lesser-known aspects of the figure of Dante Alighieri, especially his relationship with the Italians of the eastern Adriatic. This is why the afternoon of June 30 will take place in the Julian-Dalmatian Quarter, where there is no shortage of references to the "fugitive Ghibelline", while the conference on July XNUMXst hosted in the prestigious Hall of Mirrors of Palazzo Valentini will address not only Dante's influences in Istria and Dalmatia, but also specific aspects of Dante's poetics.
