An opportunity to offer a new version of Dante’s masterpiece, an adaptation that will be dressed in the artistic uniqueness typical of jewelry. It will be the precious objects, in fact, that will accompany visitors in this experience. An evocative journey yes, but also quite exciting, capable of giving the public unique sensations thanks to the rich symbolism of objects and colors. The pieces, installations and photographic elements interpret in their own way the events, protagonists and metaphors described by Dante throughout the work. Charon, the Erinyes and the Minotaur, with their imposing figures and terrifying decorations, represent Hell. In Purgatory, envy, wrath, avarice and prodigality are the most feared sins. In Paradise, Beatrice opens the door to a starlit sky, whose light accompanies her to the end of the journey. Diego Percossi Papi is known through the unmistakable style of his jewelry.
