Imaginar el
Infierno lecture

Chiara Cappuccio, professor of Italian literature at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and a specialist in medieval literature, gives a lecture on how Dante imagined Hell and why it remains present in the cultural imagination seven centuries later. The talk examines how the poet transformed classical and Christian tradition into a distinctive geography of the afterlife, whose images, characters and punishments continue to inspire contemporary art and culture across disciplines and languages. The event is part of the Fundación Canal lecture cycle. Advance booking is recommended; capacity is limited.
