The Divine Comedy is one of the most visual" poems in the history of Literature, and from its first appearance in manuscripts and codices the text was often accompanied by miniatures illustrating its most famous episodes. Dino Di Durante is the last of a long and illustrious list of artists who have illustrated Dante's poem. His paintings are not just illustrations of characters and/or episodes, but such is their power that they become actual visual interpretations of the text itself."
Massimo Ciavolella, Ph.D., Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies Director at UCLA - USA
Monsignor Marco Frisina, Divine Comedy expert - The Vatican "... Fueled by his wonder at the genius of the immortal Dante, Dino has put heart and soul into re-imagining Dante's Inferno for modern audiences, especially young people who have so much to learn from its sublime wisdom. They will also find much to enjoy, a feast of visual delights and mind-blowing experiences that put the latest computer games and special effects movies to shame."
Christopher Vogler, Hollywood Story Advisor and author of The Writer's Journey" "The 72 paintings that make up the art collection of "Dante's Inferno" by Dino Di Durante are not only the depiction of a great literary masterpiece, but also an invitation to experience them. He gives life to a series of images, that does not just tell the remarkable Dante's journey, but also invites you to relive, with restlessness and amazement, all his emotions almost to the last detail."
Gianmario Pagano, Priest, screenwriter and Divine Comedy play writer - Italy "Dino Di Durante has devoted his professional and artistic life to making Dante's Commedia available to wider and now, even younger audiences. He believes in the power and relevance of Dante's masterpiece; giving it further animation through artistic images is a further public service to the collective imagination that needs rich stories like this to understand themselves in a complex world."
Dennis Slattery, Ph.D., Mythological Studies at Pacifica Institute, California - USA
