Live streaming on www.bacidalmondo.com/dantedi
Why did the project start on March 8th? The myth of Francesca da Rimini, who appears with Dante, explodes with the Enlightenment and Romanticism to affirm a woman who is no longer a sinner but an innocent victim of deceptions and violence, an emblem of beauty, freedom and courage: faithful beyond life to the man whom they had made her believe her husband. A warrior Francesca, whose mission, even today, with over fifty thousand women killed every year by close companions or family members and with twelve million young people forced to marry at a minor age, cannot be said to be over.
The project, promoted by the Municipalities of Rimini and Gradara, is part of the official calendar of the National Committee for Dante's Celebrations 2021.
