Dear friends, you are now accustomed to the many talents of Sante Matteo; he is not only an excellent scholar, but also a great writer of fiction and non-fiction. We are happy to share a link to a humorous piece of writing he posted on the journal “Twelve Winters”, in which Sante imagines that Beatrice (Bice) Portinari, the woman loved by Dante Alighieri (immortalized in the Vita Nuova and in the Divine Comedy) writes to Laura De Noves, the woman loved by Francesco Petrarca, with an unexpected suggestion: run away! Many thanks to Sante for sharing the link! https://twelvewinters.com/matteo-escape-from-paradise/ https://twelvewinters.com/matteo-escape-from-paradise/
