Seven Seasons of the Spirit. 7. Land of the last heaven
According to Dante’s cosmology, this last chapter of the project Seven Seasons of the Spirit is the vertigo of the poet, a literary figure who is no longer able to tell what is beyond a certain height of heaven. Hence, in this work that can be considered the most visionary of the cycle, Gian Maria Tosatti attempts to give a hypothesis of it. Here, it becomes clear, that the task of man is to elevate himself towards a full awareness of the incredible height of the human spirit. Here it is a land to walk, the land of the last heaven, which is not a place for a beatitude that has to be relished, but a point of departure. Who reaches this place understands that their mission is to come back to testify the existence of that region of the spirit and to show the way.
