Giovanni's biography lies in the very few words of two notarial documents from 1308 and 1314, which have emerged from the archives in the last hundred years of Dante studies. We do not know anything else about him. Giovanni is therefore still a slender man “on paper”, son of the twentieth century. The scholar, the protagonist of the show, played by Massimo Popolizio, will reconstruct Giovanni's biographical profile and the history of the Alighieri family, but above all Dante's work and the possible relationship between such an illustrious father and a son with an unfulfilled identity.
