- Title
GIACOMO PUCCINI E DANTE: INTORNO A GIANNI SCHICCHI.

- Abstract
This paper examines Giacomo Puccini's third and final part of Trittico, Gianni Schicchi, 1918 (libretto by Giovacchino Forzano). Since the opera is based on an episode mentioned in Dante's Inferno XXX 31-45, the paper analyses its direct and indirect references to the Divine Comedy. Considering this, the paper more globally reevaluates Puccini's relationship toward Dante and his works. Through an analysis of new documents, I suggest that the composer's valorization of the Dantean source material was more prominent than has previously been sustained.
