Learning outcomes

Through a philological and historical-comparative analysis of the original sources in Italian translation ( Bible, Divine Comedy, some liturgical texts and Holy Scriptures of different religions ),
our purpose will be the historical-religious reconnaissance of mythical word that expresses places of supreme beatitude. From ancient myths of golden Age, of isle of the Blessed, of Eden’s garden, we too shall describe paradise’s type of artwork, until its meaning of metaphor in poetical and rhetorical language.
