The Salesian Institute of Caserta and the Don Bosco Past Pupils Union "Umberto Cirillo" are preparing to celebrate "Dantedì" 2025 with a special event at the Don Bosco Theater in Caserta. On Monday, March 24, at 6:00 PM, the show "L'amor che move il sole e l'altre stelle," written and performed by Massimo Santoro, will be performed. Admission is free for all participants.
Celebration of the Supreme Poet
“Dantedì” falls on March 25, a symbolic date that marks the beginning of Dante’s journey into the “dark forest” in 1300. The event will see Massimo Santoro interpret Canto XXXIII of Paradiso from the Divine Comedy, accompanied by original music. The canto, in fact, represents Dante’s final encounter with divinity. The audience will be welcomed by greetings from Don Antonio D’Angelo, director of the Salesian House of Caserta, and the president of the Union of Past Pupils, Gennaro Iannotti.
An Opportunity to Meet Again
Massimo Santoro, a literature teacher and actor, returns to the theater he knows well, bringing with him the enthusiasm that has characterized him since the time he taught Comedy within the walls of the Salesian High School. Santoro expresses gratitude towards his students of the past and present, wishing to see familiar faces in the audience, be they former students or parents, each continuing their own path in life.
A Unique Event for the City
Gennaro Iannotti emphasizes the importance and prestige of paying homage to Dante with an original show, dedicated to the final canto of his work. The association is proud to be able to offer the city a distinctive event in the name of culture. The Don Bosco Theater will welcome those who wish to live this cultural experience, rediscovering the greatness of Dante's literature through the voice and music of a talented local performer.

The event for Dantedì seems interesting and I see that Massimo Santoro has a long experience, but I don't know if it will be easy for everyone to follow the Canto XXXIII of Paradiso, because it is very complex. I hope there are explanations.
