Feb 19th: Dante’s own history, from Florence to Verona in 1303

Today we’ll look at how Cacciaguida is telling the Pilgrim about his near future, unfolding from the year 1300. He starts with the first events of the “arrow” of exile, the problematic years in Arezzo, and then finding a safe haven with the Scala family in Verona in 1303.

And this marks exactly the half point in Dante’s Paradiso!

Enjoy!
