Synopsis
Malebolge. Imaginary Architecture of Dante’s Hell. This work aims to study the characteristics of an imaginary architecture of Hell, through Dante Alighieri's work, who, at the beginning of the 14th century, starts writing what will be his masterpiece, The Divine Comedy. This extensive poem, written in terza rima, with 14,322 lines, tells the fictional journey of the author through the three realms of the afterlife: Inferno, Purgatory, and Paradise. This work focuses on the first part, Inferno. Dante constructed his poem as one constructs a work of architecture, based on a strong linguistic structure. His building is constructed little by little, being an important creator of the imagery of hell. This imaginary architecture, although using references from the real world, is the focus of attention in this research. The work seeks the intersection of various fields of knowledge: neuroaesthetics, architecture, and art, to contribute to studying this important work for Western literature.
