For Dante, eight centuries later, all that is noble \u0026lt;savio seppe>>, the \u0026lt;\u0026lt;mar all senno>>. Supreme Master of all knowledge, Virgil knows in the Middle Ages an extraordinary luck. To the point of increasing the glory already gained in the fastest time of the Rome of Augustus. The author of ' Aeneid, among the writers of antiquity, is arguably the most sena bed. And the entire medieval society devotes to a particular kind of worship, which germinate the legend of his unmatched knowledge and more human.

When Dante chose him to lead in the first part of his wonderful journey, Virgil is still the wise poet who had sung the origins of the eternal city and celebrating these ' Enea that Providence had chosen to father's empire. Soon, however, reversing the sign of the Middle Ages quite frequent in the atmosphere fantastic, miraculous powers are attributed to the poet who transformed it into a necromancer.

The web of wonders strobe operated by Virgil magician spreads throughout Urbe: woven a web of myths, legends and fascinating stories passed down from the collective memory.
