Dear Cazzullo,
I have an idea as simple as water: a theme park, inspired by Disneyland, in Florence, or at least in Tuscany, that reproduces the Hell imagined by Dante in the Divine Comedy underground. Visitors could retrace the rounds and thus find, through the sets and reproductions, the complete history of the lost as described in the first Canticle. Think: the lustful, the angry, the murders, the traitors, then Charon, the scourges, the flames, Malebolgia, and finally Lucifer. It would also be a work of engineering to which the genius of Italic art and, obviously, poetry would contribute. In short, you can only respond to the pandemic with Pandemonium. We would have the whole world with the ticket in hand to be able to visit Hell. It would be money, success, and, well, yes, sex. The best of commercial formulas.

Dear Buttafuoco,
She is the usual rogue. Do you know why your idea is not bad? In fact, the more I think about it, the more I like it. If Dante is alive, it is okay that he does not live alone in bookstores or academies. Italians in theme parks try to imitate Americans. For God’s sake, Gardaland, Mirabilandia, MagicLand are beautiful places that create jobs. But it would be nice to have some parks more linked to the Italian identity.
I realize that one dedicated to ancient Rome would be cheesy. But Dante’s Inferno could work. Are you planning to put it in the hands of a special effects wizard like Dante (coincidentally) Ferretti? In addition, the Poet in Hell makes all the colors of them, climbs rock walls, flies into the void on the back of a dragon, goes by boat, crosses rivers, avoids the petrifying gaze of Medusa, faces demons called Libicocco and Scratchiacane, with the help of Virgil calms Charon, Cerberus, the Minotaur, the centaurs …
The glutton group could be the catering area, perhaps entrusted to the greatest Tuscan chef of all time, Fulvio Pierangelini. I am afraid that lustful will be prohibited to those under 18 years of age. In short, the project is all there, and it seems right to launch it, with a smile, the day a brilliant idea from Paolo Di Stefano and Corriere turned Danted.
