ETA: on links, here are two italian actors reading the first Canto. One is Vittorio Gassman, one of the greatest Italian actors: this is definitely better for an Italian speaker, as the emphasis helps understand the text (for an Italian, Dante's language is quite hard to understand), it is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBGq11ODudA just skip to minute 4.40. The other one is by a fellow tuscan, Roberto Benigni, comedian and actor know outside Italy for his movie Life is beautiful/la vita e' bella which won the Palme D'or in Cannes and Oscar as best foreign film, both in 1998 - this is less emphatic, but the rhyme is very clear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igC8UcnAZHE Last edited by paola; 01-13-2014 at 03:58 PM. |

Thank you both, Bookworm_girl and paola. Even though I know only a few words of Italian, the sound is so beautiful I was quite mesmerised.

I particularly love the lion in the first picture - it looks like a large woolly dog.
Blake was a really interesting artist, wasn't he. |
