  an ingenious timelapse of never-ending passersby, like the trudging circles in the Inferno, in front of the nineteenth-century Carrara marble tribute by Paolo Emilio Demi. The half-hour of camera clicking has attracted the attention of the young army officers standing guard over the U-shaped corridor and its priceless possessions. “I wonder why Alighieri is spelled with two ‘l’s,” the soldier muses. “Maybe it’s a mistranslation from the Latin.” Any ideas?   This issue of The Florentine celebrates Florence’s Supreme Poet ahead of Dantedì on March 25, the date when Dante is believed to have started writing his ‘Divine Comedy’ and the date that the Italian government has dedicated to the writer as a symbol of Italian culture worldwide. For Eugenio Giani, president of the Tuscany Region, Dante is the “cultural father of all of Tuscany” as well as a “friend… a familiar presence even to those who haven’t studied literature”, while for Mayor of Florence, Dario Nardella, “Dante will be our most powerful driving force for rebirth”. (You can read these institutional greetings on page 12 in the magazine.)

photographic material (positives, negatives, prints, albums, glass negatives, daguerreotypes and other original items); a vast library collection of photography-centric books, one of the best in the world in its genre; and instruments ranging from cameras to antique atelier props, technical materials and other relics of the art of photography over the past 150 years. The images in the archive are essential tools for the study of the evolution of Florence over the past century and a half; the photography collection also holds priceless records of key moments in Italy and around the world, images of artworks, and more.     At today's press conference in Florence, the foundation's president, Giorgio van Straten, spoke about the importance of conserving and sharing the Alinari legacy. He also announced that the foundation has already won national funding to the tune of 39,400.00 euro. The financing will be used to restore and digitalize 2,000 unique objects in the collection, a project that will be bolstered by additional funds from the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Firenze.
