To mark the 700th anniversary of the death of Dante Alighieri in Ravenna in 1321, activities and celebrations are being organized all over the world, confirming the universality of the message and the familiarity of The Divine Comedy, a work that not only contributed to the consolidation of the Tuscan dialect in the Italian language, but has also been translated all over the world since the fifteenth century. Dante and the Comedy are treasures of Italy and central to its heritage of humanity.

Dante nel mondo (Dante Worldwide) is dedicated to them. It is a streaming video project, which will involve twelve Italian Cultural Institutes worldwide, created by the Centro per il libro e la lettura (Center for books and reading) in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and with la Lettura - Corriere della Sera (Reading - Corriere della Sera).
