ig: herdrafts I’ve started reading the Aeneid some weeks ago, quite big and complex book, also fascinating and full of Homeric references. Latin isn’t an easy language and I can’t reading it nor understand it as I would so this Italian translation has been the most sensible choice. I’ve also got two more classics, sketching and watching old movies, and organizing my reviews this early morning; I didn’t get enough sleep since this week started but I feel great.

March 25th is the day believed to be the start of Dante's journey through the celestial realms of hell, purgatory, and heaven. Here are some pictures of my Divina Commedia with illustrations by Gustave Doré. Happy Dante's day everyone!
