Italian singer-songwriter Morgan interprets Dante at Fabrica, a crossroads of cultures, experiences and innovations. This inventive blend of contemporary culture and immortal poetry to help us understand the present, celebrates the release of a new edition of Dante’s Inferno, published by Mondadori, illustrated and commentated by Benetton‘s creative laboratory.

The passionately inspired reading by the Italian singer-songwriter is driven by the same experimental nature that guided the creation of the book. Its illustrations were entrusted by Fabrica to two young British artists, Patrick Waterhouse and Walter Hutton, who took up the challenge with the fresh spirit of two explorers setting out to discover a new world to describe.

The book L’Inferno di Dante. Una storia naturale, Strade Blu – Mondadori, is a work that subverts the traditional visual representation of this poem, to give readers access to a deeper understanding of the relationship between the Divine Comedy and the modern world. It includes over 300 illustrations, all produced by hand using a range of different techniques, complete with comments. Together they form an imposing mosaic of figures, organised around a central idea: exploration of the real and mythological vicissitudes in the style and manner typical of natural history texts.
