About the Item
Great Inferno book of the Divine Comedy
The 34 illustrations that were contained in the book, drawn by Amos Nattini, have been extrapolated and framed, while inside the book still carries his canticles.
The work is produced to celebrate the sixth centenary of Dante Alighieri's death in 1321. In fact, in 1921 Genoese artist Amos Nattini (1892-1985) launched a 20-year effort to produce a monumental illustrated edition of Dante's poem. Between 1921 and 1941 he worked on three large volumes (about 27 kg each) containing the Cantiche of Dante's Divine Comedy. Nattini takes care of every detail: from the pure rag paper from Fabriano, to the fonts inspired by primitive Latin for the press printing in the Officine dell'Istituto Nazionale Dantesco, in Milan.
The first volume, Inferno, came out in 1931, followed in 1936 by Purgatory, and in 1941, came Paradise. Within the book it is stated that the work was finished in 1939 and that only 1,000 numbered copies were published. The large volumes are bound in embossed calfskin leather and decorated on the front plate with different impression inserts for each cantica.
Year of publication: 1931.
