Virgil path

These lines, according to the tradition dictated by Virgil when he was in Brindisi not many days before his death, are considered as the life of the great Latin author in very few words. Beside his birthplace and Naples, the dearest city that will keep forever his remains, we can also find references with his three greatest works (Bucolics, Georgics, Eneids), those that will give him everlasting fame and that will give him the title of greatest poet of Rome and of the whole Empire.
As proof of the his reputation – since centuries – another presentation of the poet is given us by the famous Divine Comedy, work of XIV century: Dante choses Virgil as guide through Inferno and Purgatorio, assuming him as symbol himself of Human Sense, for the perfection of his style and for the moral teachings of his work.
