★★★★★a year agoWhile walking through Piazza dei Signori in Verona, I was surprised and honestly moved to see the impressive statue of Dante Alighieri standing tall in the center of the square. This statue was erected in 1865 to commemorate the 600th anniversary of Dante’s birth, and it was sculpted by Ugo Zannoni, a Veronese artist. It’s made of white marble and shows Dante in a thoughtful pose, with a cloak and laurel wreath, just as you’d imagine the father of Italian literature. Dante wasn’t born in Verona — he was from Florence — but he lived in exile here for several years under the protection of the Scaliger family after being banished from his hometown. That’s why this city honors him with such a proud monument. The location is also incredibly symbolic: surrounded by historic buildings, arches, and just a short walk from the Scaliger tombs. It creates this strong connection between art, history, and politics of medieval Italy. If you’re a literature lover or just appreciate cultural landmarks, this statue is a must-see. It’s not just a tribute to a poet — it’s a piece of Italian identity, standing right in the heart of Verona.

★★★★★a year agoThe statue of Dante. His Divine comedy is really something, that you had alredy red. It is not that easy to read it, but it is something fundamental that teaches you about history and acient mind.... I wonder where we could meet us after life...
