In the middle of the road of our life I found myself in a dark forest, because I’d lost the straight path………
When Dante walks through the door of Hell, three majestic beasts are standing in front of him: a lynch, a lion and a fierce and a skinny wolf; if we exclude the lion, the other two animals can meet in the Casentinian Forest Park near Poppi Castle ( Arezzo), where the poet was a guest of Count Guidi in the year 1310, in this place, it appears that Dante has composed the XXIII song of Hell, the one where the hypocrites serve their sentence. I know those places very well because I’ve been seeing them often, recently, I know that place very well because I’ve often seen it, recently, their image has been helpful to me to represent the first song, when the poet makes its way into the dark wild.
