  • Before to start to write about Vanny Fucci, I have to write a brief introduction about the Divina Commedia (Divine Comedy) by Dante Alighieri, because maybe the most of you don't know it (here in Italy every kids study the Divina Commedia at school ^_^).

    The Divina Commedia is a  long allegorical poem written by Dante Alighieri (the most famous ancient italian poet) between the and the It's considered the greatest work of the Italian Literature! Dante, in this poem, give us a vision of the afterlife from the point of view of the late middle age in Italy and the poem is divided in 3 parts: inferno, purgatorio and paradiso (hell, purgatory and heaven).

    I'm very proud to say that Dante was born and lived in Tuscany (as me!!! ^_^) and this his poem helped to standardized the Italian Language from the Tuscan language. I have to say that here in Tuscany we don't have a specific dialect of the region, but we talk an Italian "standard". We just have a particular pronunciat

    Η λέσχη του τρόμου

    Πάρα πολλοί συγγραφείς έχουν την εντύπωση ότι σκοπός της ιστορίας τρόμου είναι να καθυποτάξει τον αναγνώστη προκαλώντας του απανωτά σοκ. Κι έτσι μετέρχονται φτηνά μέσα, σαν εκείνα που οι σκηνοθέτες του σινεμά ονομάζουν pop-ups : το χέρι που ξαφνικά μπαίνει στην εικόνα, το απότομο ζουμ πάνω στο παραμορφωμένο πτώμα. Όμως το σοκ είναι μια φιλεύσπλαχνη εμπειρία· δεν είναι παρά μια στιγμιαία φόρτιση, ένας συγκλονισμός από τον οποίο οι περισσότεροι άνθρωποι θα συνέλθουν σχεδόν αμέσως.
    Η μεγάλη λογοτεχνία τρόμου δεν έχει να κάνει με το σοκ αλλά με το αίσθημα· μπαίνει στο πετσί μας και δεν μας εγκαταλείπει. Είναι μια απόδειξη ότι μια εικόνα είναι ισχυρή μόνο στο βαθμό που το γενικώτερο πλαίσιο που την εμπεριέχει είναι ισχυρό. Οι στυλίστες του είδους προκαλούν περισσότερο τρόμο με μια φευγαλέα κηλίδα απ' ότι οι ταινίες "σπλάτερ με εκατό κουβάδες αίμα. Η δύναμη αυτή, - όχι απλώς και μόνο να τρομάζει κανείς, αλλά να ανησυχεί, να "θορυβεί" τον αναγνώστη, να του προκαλεί μια μ

    Character in Dante's Inferno

    Vanni Fucci di Pistoia was a 13th-century Italian and a minor character in Inferno, the first part of poet Alighieri's epic poem the Divine Comedy, appearing in Cantos XXIV & XXV. He was a tjuv who lived in Pistoia, as his name ("di Pistoia" meaning "of Pistoia") indicates; when he died, he was sent to the seventh bolgia (round; in Italian, "ditch" or "pouch") of the eighth circle of Hell, where thieves are punished. In that bolgia, his punishment was to be stung by a serpent, reduced to ashes, and then restored to his former shape for more torturing. Dante and Virgil meet him and ask him why he was there. He replied that he stole a treasure from the Church of St. James in his hometown; he had wrongly accused an innocent man, Vanni della Nona, with the crime, for which della Nona was executed. Fucci says he was not caught but he still went to Hell. He then predicts the overthrow of the Florentine Whites to spite Dante and th
