Graffiti Portrait of Dante in Naples

This street art portrait, which is located in Naples, represents a stylized representation of Dante Alighieri. At the top left corner of the work, the phrase “fatti non fumo” (“facts not smoke”) is included — this could relate to the famous line “fatti non foste per viver come bruti / ma per seguir virtute e canoscenza” (you weren’t made to live like beasts, you were made to acquire virtue and knowledge), which is said by Ulysses in the Eighth Circle of Hell.     — ALDAM, Via dei Tribunali, Napoli.
