If you understand Italian and enjoy cultural travelogues, this brand-new documentary, released on Italian television on January 29, consists of extensive drone footage of many Italian cities with literary or historical ties to Dante's Inferno: Naples, Cumae, Gradara, Anagni, Orvieto, San Miniato, Rome, Pisa, Ravenna and most especially Florence, with its magnificent baptistery mosaics which help illustrate a literary excursus through the thirty-four canti of the Inferno, narrated by well-known Italian journalist and author Aldo Cazzullo:


Running slightly over two hours, the documentary is heavy with very famous quotes from numerous canti of the Inferno, including many which will be very familiar to those who have read the Poem, as well as with many historical references to Dante's life and times.

The footage of Florence from the air is especially compelling.

Cazzullo's series "Una Giornata Particolare" is a regular feature of Italian TV La7 and consists of historical, cultural, artistic and literary documentaries of very high caliber, but popularized for non-professional audiences.
