In Palma’s book on Dante, we are still “Children of the thirteenth century”

Language and Country in the Supreme Poet, this is the "fire" of " Dante, from language to country. On the seven hundredth anniversary of the death of the Supreme Poet (1321-2021), we are still Sons of the Thirteenth Century ", Editrice Gds, 2020.

A book, the third by Giuseppe Palma on the Supreme Poet, which offers a particular contribution to the celebrations for the eighteenth anniversary of the death of Dante Alighieri (1321-2021). A short essay with which the author deals with two themes in particular: the birth of the Italian language with the fundamental contribution of the Dolce Stil Novo and Dante's concept of " homeland ". Although of essential content, the book is enriched, in the conclusions, by an extract from the preface that Gabriele d'Annunzio wrote for the monumental edition of the Divine Comedy of 1911, made on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the unification of Italy. The language that Italians still speak today is more or less the same as in the 13th-14th century, which is why the author states that we are still “ Sons of the 13th century ”. The anniversary should therefore be an opportunity not only to celebrate the Supreme Poet, who also has its importance as a national symbol, but above all to rediscover and enhance the Italian language , the real reason why all citizens – from North to South – can rediscover a healthy and genuine sense of belonging to the homeland .
