"Inferno - The Art Collection" by Dino Di Durante is a book of a 72-piece art collection based on Dante's Inferno story, the first part of the literary masterpiece - The Divine Comedy written by Dante Alighieri at the beginning of the 14th century. Most of the art pieces were featured in a film titled Dante's Hell Animated featuring Eric Roberts' voice as Dante. The Italian version, titled Inferno Dantesco Animato, features Franco Nero among many known celebrities. Both versions premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. The entire collection is featured in the upcoming film "Inferno by Dante" starring over 30 artists and scholars from both the United States and Italy, in addition to a Monsignor from The Vatican. This film will be released in 2015. "The Divine Comedy is one of the most "visual" poems in the history of Literature, and from its first appearance in manuscripts and codices the text was often accompanied by miniatures illustrating its most famous episodes. Dino Di Durante is the last of a long and illustrious list of artists who have illustrated Dante's poem. His paintings are not just illustrations of characters and/or episodes, but such is their power that they become actual visual interpretations of the text itself." Massimo Ciavolella, Ph.D., Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies Director - University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) - USA "Dino Di Durante's paintings of Dante's Inferno are strong, sometimes terrifying, sometimes sublime, but they all perfectly describe the beauty and depth of the human soul, the wonderful mirror of God's image." Monsignor Marco Frisina, Divine Comedy expert - The Vatican "In your hands is another expression of one man's life's work, a true divine obsession, dedicated entirely to bringing new modern life to a classic of world literature in every possible way. Fueled by his wonder at the genius of the immortal Dante, Dino has put heart and soul into re-imagining Dante's Inferno for modern audiences, especially young people who have so much to learn from its sublime wisdom. They will also find much to enjoy, a feast of visual delights and mind-blowing experiences that put the latest computer games and special effects movies to shame." Christopher Vogler, Hollywood Story Advisor and author of The Writer's Journey"
