The 700th death anniversary of Dante Alighieri offers the opportunity to rediscover one of the most important figures of Italian and World literature and discuss the relevance of his major work, the Divine Comedy, to contemporary Filipinos.
In this free webinar, the Philippine Italian Association and the National Library of the Philippines have invited three professors to talk about Dante Alighieri in the Philippine literary context, with a particular focus on two important aspects of the cultural transmission: teaching and translation.

The Philippine Italian Association is proud to co-present this webinar on Antonio Pigafetta and Philippine History and Heritage.

A. Pigafetta has the merit to have recorded in his chronicles a major event of the History of the Philippines, the first encounter between Filipinos and Europeans. His work "Report on the First Voyage around the World" includes the earliest documents available on the language and culture of the islands of Samar and Cebu.
