ethical and religious issues of
his time.

He wanted to ‘purify’ the Church
and the Holy Roman Empire yet
caught between those two great
worldly powers, and turning to
literature to make his voice heard.
In the Paradiso, he was guided
by Beatrice, into the celestial
Paradise, where love, truth and
beauty intertwine in his great
vision of the Christian
revelation
