he
building in the small Piazza Santa Margherita that is today
called Dante's house is nothing other than an arbitrary reconstruction,
carried out around 1900, of one of the houses belonging to the
Alighieri family. It is, however, thought that one of the houses
facing onto this piazza was the birthplace of Dante.
The Casa di Dante houses the Museo di Dante, which includes
a rich collection of various editions of The Divine Comedy and
extensive geographic documentation of Dante's Florence. |
