Sunday, January 24th | 5:00PM | Online Event - Lecture & Discussion
Reflections on the Title of the Divine Comedy-  Presentation Prof. Lino Pertile.
How did Dante’s great poem come to be known as “La Divina Commedia” or, quite simply, “La Commedia”? If Dante himself called it a “commedia”, why did he do so? And how can it be both a “Comedy” and a “Sacred Poem”, Dante’s other name for it? What is the poem about that could justify such apparently diverse titles? Is the Dante in the poem the same Dante Alighieri from Florence who died 700 years ago? And if he is, why does he ask us to believe that he went to Hell, Purgatory and Paradise? What were his aims in writing such a story and did he achieve them?

Giorno della Memoria: A conversation with Simon Levis Sullam - Organized by DAS Michigan in collaboration with DAS Massachusetts 
In honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day, which is observed on January 27, the Dante Alighieri Society of Michigan commemorates those Italians who suffered persecution as a result of the Racial Laws imposed by the Fascist government and under the Nazi occupation during World War II.
In commemoration of the Giorno della Memoria, we will talk to Professor Levis Sullam, a specialist in modern Italian history, Jewish history, and the History of Antisemitism and of the Holocaust, to try to understand the role Italians played in the genocide of Jews in Italy; how Italians participated and contributed to the isolation, dehumanization, and ultimately the deportations and what happened to Jews in Italy and their property during the 1930s and 40s.
