Abstract

From Florence to Paradiso: for a metaliterary interpretation of Dantesque Piccarda. Traditional critical readings of the character of Piccarda highlight either the hagiographic aspect of Dante’s narrative (the story of the nun Piccarda, modeled on the example of Santa Chiara), or emphasize – sometimes excessively – the thematic parallels with other femalen figures of the poem (the triptych, representative of the three cantiche, is completed by Francesca da Rimini and Pia de’ Tolomei), reinterpreted, in line with a contemporary sensibility, as exempla of gender violence. This contribution rather reinterprets the heavenly encounter with a member of the Donati family in terms of its specifically Florentine resonances which, from a meta-literary perspective, continue Dante’s youthful recollections already featured in the purgatorial encounter with Piccarda’s brother Forese, evoking a Florentine period of his poetic development in both content and stylistic form
