Having survived the depths of Hell, Dante and Virgil climb the
Mountain of Purgatory. In this kingdom, divided into seven
terraces, which correspond to the seven deadly sins, the spirits have
to purge their souls to ascend towards God in Heaven.
The Cantica starts with the ante-Purgatory and culminates
with Heaven and the vision of Beatrice, Dante’s love.
