Settembre Dantesco returns to Ravenna to commemorate the legacy of Dante Alighieri on the 705th anniversary of his passing. Organized by the Municipality of Ravenna and the Classense Library in collaboration with the Dante Center of the Friars Minor Conventual, Fondazione RavennAntica, and local cultural organizations, the festival presents an extensive calendar of events celebrating and exploring the works of the Supreme Poet. The heart of the celebrations takes place during Dante's Annual Memorial on the second weekend of September, featuring the traditional oil offering ceremony and the keynote address delivered by Tomaso Montanari. The vibrant schedule spans several iconic city landmarks, including Dante's Tomb, the Basilica di San Francesco, and the Antichi Chiostri Francescani, hosting highlights such as the International Dante Summer School, the 'Oltre Dante' reading marathon, art and bibliographical exhibitions, themed guided tours, and scholarly conferences.
