Dario Franceschini's invitation for Dantedì: "Read Dante and share it on social media."

Tomorrow, March 25, will mark the first Dantedì, the day dedicated to Dante Alighieri, and Cultural Heritage Minister Dario Franceschini extends an invitation to everyone so that the great poet’s verses will spread as widely as possible. “On March 25,” Franceschini wrote on Twitter, “the first Dantedì will be celebrated. This year can only be a digital-only edition, so read Dante and post your content. Dante is our language, it is the very idea of Italy. And in these days we need to keep it alive.” The minister then concluded his tweet with the hashtag #ioleggoDante.

There are many initiatives already, even if only digital due to the health emergency, for Dantedì. Tomorrow, thanks to the Ministry of Education, tens of thousands of students will read Dante in distance learning classes. The virtual celebrations will then continue throughout the day on social media, with pills, streaming readings, performances dedicated to Dante, all initiatives identified by the official hashtags #Dantedì and #IoleggoDante.

There are also several initiatives set up by Rai and the Ministry of Culture: at this link you can find some of them.
