Four evenings at the Unipol Auditorium featuring love poetry by Cavalcanti, Dante, Petrarca and Boccaccio to retrace the roots of the Italian language.

The Unipol Group and Fondazione Musica Insieme, united for years by a shared commitment and desire to organise initiatives of important cultural value, have renewed their collaboration in 2019 for “Ragionar d’Amore – Alle radici della lingua italiana” (“Speaking of love – The roots of the Italian language”): a programme that features the reading of verses and novellas in which the great poets Guido Cavalcanti, Dante Alighieri, Francesco Petrarca and Giovanni Boccaccio celebrated all aspects of love: its devastating strength in the rhymes of Dolce Stil Novo, its saving power sung in Dante’s Vita Nova, its spiritual elevation in Canzoniere, and its thousand faces, at times solemn, at times ironic, narrated in The Decameron. The beloved women of the four authors, Primavera, Beatrice, Laura and Fiammetta, will return to life through the vivid imagery of intense feelings that even the centuries have not dulled.
