Over 70 Italian Architects Interpret Dante's Divine Comedy at Caserta Palace

At the Reggia di Caserta, the exhibition 'Divina Sezione. L'architettura italiana per la Divina Commedia' showcases the reinterpretations of Dante's Divine Comedy by more than 70 Italian architects. Curated by Luca Molinari, the exhibit is open until March 29 and features contributions from notable figures such as Francesco Venezia, Paolo Portoghesi, and Ugo La Pietra. The design of the installation is attributed to Simona Ottieri, alongside Maria Gelvi and Concetta Tavoletta. A catalog published by Skira includes essays from the curators, selected architects, and Dante expert Riccardo Bruscagli. This exhibition follows a prior version at Milan's Spazio FMG per l'architettura. In April, Molinari, now the Editorial Director of PLATFORM Architecture and Design, will unveil issue #18 of the bimonthly magazine. The show delves into Dante's three realms—Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso—as architectural inspiration, echoing Giuseppe Terragni's unfinished Danteum project in Rome.
