Mr. Dante

Dante Alighieri commonly known as Dante, was an Italian poet of the middle ages. In Italy he is known as "The Supreme Poet" and "The Father of Italian Language". He wrote the Divine Comedy which brought us the nine circles of hell...and so much more. Trani has a Piazza Dante. As Rick and I were walking past this morning we glanced up at the Dante statue and something looked off.... Can you see it?




Someone put a breathing mask over Dante's mouth. I wonder what they were trying to say? Any ideas?

  2. And can you imagine the mask they would have needed to cover the nose too! It would have been massive! lol
