Welcome to the second chapter of our virtual journey into Dante Alighieri’s Inferno—where the descent grows darker and the visions even more unsettling. In this episode, we travel deeper into Hell, exploring the terrifying Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Circles, the final and most extreme realms of Dante’s afterlife.
As we follow Dante’s path through these depths, we’ll encounter sinners condemned for violence, fraud, and betrayal. These are some of the Inferno’s most haunting figures—trapped in frozen wastelands, engulfed in flames, or bound within nightmarish landscapes shaped by eternal punishment.
Through powerful paintings, detailed illustrations, and dramatic sculptural works, we’ll discover how artists across centuries dared to give form to these chilling scenes. From the icy stillness of traitors in the Ninth Circle to the brutal punishments of the violent and deceivers, Dante’s verses are transformed into striking visual interpretations filled with emotion, fear, and imagination.
This episode reveals how artists confronted the most intense and disturbing passages of the Divine Comedy, pushing the boundaries of creativity to capture Hell’s final depths.
If you were captivated by the first episode, this continuation takes you even further—into the most powerful and unforgettable visions of Dante’s Inferno.
Are you ready to descend to the very bottom of Hell?
