Do you ever thought to do something inspired by Dante's Commedia? I know the source is a little bit over-employed and there is a risk to be trite but I think that a wise choice of the taken passage will result in a real masterpiece. What do you think?
if you need any help to select a nice passage you can ask me, I'm italian and I'm actually an academian. Dante's Commedia is one of my favourite texts.
