An unprecedented theatrical experience will lead spectators through the magical environments of the Villa, transforming them into the perfect stage for the second Cantica of Dante’s supreme work: Purgatory.

From the meeting with the guardian of Purgatory, Cato Uticense, to the Antipurgatory, where figures such as Manfred I of Swabia and Pia De Tolomei await their purification, this extraordinary journey through seven concentric frames promises to amaze and engage guests.

The performance will culminate with the vision of Beatrice accompanied by three dancers, incarnations of the three theological virtues: faith, hope and charity.
