Ironically, one could say that if instead of Dante the protagonist was Boccaccio, the signs of a pestilence would have been a perfect viaticum to the happy musical result. Technical artifices would have largely mitigated these scars; but we here want to display them as tattoos. At that time we could not even imagine or even hope to come out of that darkness “to see the stars again”; today a kind of damnatio memoriae towards those two years is widely spread.
