Dante Caught Without a Mask: Street Art in Florence

“Fantastic this work, certainly dating back to the lockdown in March [2020] and unfortunately already in an advanced stage of deterioration. Protagonist Dante Alighieri, acknowledged father of Italian literature and language, author of the Divine Comedy, dressed as always in red and crowned with laurel. Arrested as caught without a mask by a policeman with an anti-Covid 19 mask (with an American uniform?) and by another figure in a spacesuit (an astronaut?), also with a mask!  Live-size pictures. Many metaphors can be ventured! Florence, via delle Seggiole.”   —Arte Leonardo blog, Leonardo da Vinci Art School
