In this new series we will enjoy several conversations with American writers who will share their experiences of an Italian journey, be it real, imaginary, or metaphorical, but one that is personal and shows their bond with our country.

The first encounter is with Michael Frank, whose talk is intriguingly titled "Making friends with Michele, my Italian Doppelgänger”.

Why does Dante still speak to us with great urgency and power, and how is it that he remains accessible despite the seemingly-vast distance in time and culture between his world and ours?

Dante’s Latin treatise Monarchia inscribes itself within the long medieval conflict between Pope and Emperor and the debate that opposed the theorists of theocracy to the supporters of the empire. 

Presented with the NYU Department of Italian Studies and The Global Dante Project of New York
