This month, exhibitions, lectures and readings are being held to mark the 750th anniversary of the birth of Italian poet Dante Alighieri.
His most famous work, the Divine Comedy – often described as one of the greatest ever written – is more than just the story of his journey through Hell, Purgatory and Paradise.
It is a portrait of medieval society and a profound study of human psychology.
A.N. Wilson is a historian and writer, who wrote 'Dante in Love' and Annalisa Cipollone is a lecturer in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures at Durham University.
