Florence's Uffizi gallery is
organizing a major show in Forlì next year to mark the 700th
anniversary of Dante's death, director Heike Schmidt said
Tuesday.
"A great show will be dedicated to the Supreme Poet in a
strongly symbolic place, because it was in those lands that the
author of the Divine Comedy spent several years of his exile,"
Schmidt said.
"For this extraordinary initiative the Uffizi gallery will make
available, as well as art historians, some of the works most
closely linked to Dante and his time.
"There will also be loans from all over the world"m Schmidt
said.
