One hundred 33-second-long videos focusing on the 100 tercets from Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy are at the centre of the 'Istante Dante' (Dante Instant) project showcased at the Italy Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka.
The project is promoted by the cultural institute and college Collegio Borromeo and by the I Solisti di Pavia, the musical ensemble of the Foundation Monte di Lombardia.
The idea has involved 100 Italian and international musicians and will include three concerts, running until September 4, with music by composers such as Schumann, Dvořák, Brahms, Chausson, focusing on the themes of the poem's Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso.
They will be performed by I Solisti di Pavia (the Soloists of Pavia), violinist Massimo Quarta and pianist Alessandro Marangoni, who is also the artistic director.
Quarta has already played at the auditorium during the congress 'The time for justice, hope and eternety' which introduced the project.
