caption: DIVINE COMEDY Cacciaguida degli Elisei (c. 1090 or 1091 – c. 1148), Dante’s great-great-grandfather, speaks of Florence to Dante (14 May/13 June 1265 – night between 13 and 14 September 1321) and Beatrice (1265/66 – 8 June 1290) in Paradiso XVII, 48. Dante recounts the meeting of his ancestor during the journey to Paradise, crossing the heaven of Mars that hosts the souls of the fighters for the faith. Through Cacciaguida’s words, Dante offers us important historical and literary testimony about the Alighieri family and 12th-century Florence, with its social and political changes. Miniature from a 15th-century Italian edition of the “Divine Comedy”.
