Sky Arte docu-film explores Dante's exile through daughter's eyes
This Saturday, April 16, Sky Arte is set to air 'Dante – Fuga dagli Inferi,' a documentary exploring Dante Alighieri's 20 years of exile from Florence, the death sentence he received, and the writing of the Divine Comedy. The narration is done by Toni Servillo, but the narrative is interestingly framed through the eyes of Dante's only daughter, Antonia, who is played by Federica Baù and voiced by Chiara Gioncardi. The film includes commentary from experts like Nicola Lagioia and Alberto Casadei, among others. Directed by Sebastiano Facco, the documentary aims to engage viewers in a fresh way, re-evaluating Dante’s contributions to literature. It's produced by Sky Arte with curation from Artribune.
