Alessandro Venturi, the child protagonist of the book “Dante e l’indovinello della Garisenda”, returns with an adventure in the company of the supreme poet. This time Alessandro is on his way to Ravenna, on a school trip. The destination of the excursion is Dante Alighieri’s tomb. But, as in the book, reality will mix with dreams: the places in Ravenna will be transformed into the Inferno, Purgatory and Paradise described in The Comedy and, at the end of the dream, will Alessandro manage to reach the longed-for ‘Dante zone’?
