# Divina Commedia di Dante: Purgatorio

By Dante Alighieri.

"Divina Commedia di Dante: Purgatorio" by Dante Alighieri is the second part of the Divine Comedy written in the early 14th century. Guided by the Roman poet Virgil, Dante climbs Mount Purgatory, an island-mountain where penitent souls undergo spiritual purification. Through seven terraces corresponding to the deadly sins, Dante explores the nature of sin, virtue, and redemption. The poem presents a theory that all sins stem from perverted, deficient, or excessive love, while prayer emerges as a powerful force aiding souls in their ascent.
