quote:
VERGINE MADRE FIGLIA DEL TUO FIGLIO
UMILE ED ALTA PIÙ CHE CREATURA
TERMINE FISSO D'ETERNO CONSIGLIO
TU SE' COLEI CHE L'UMANA NATURA
NOBILITASTI SÌ CHE IL SUO FATTORE
NON DISDEGNÒ DI FARSI SUA FATTURA
NEL VENTRE TUO SI RACCESE L'AMORE
PER LO CUI CALDO NELL'ETERNA PACE
COSÌ È GERMINATO QUESTO FIORE
Dante - Par. XXXIII
ANO MARIANO MCMLIV
VIRGIN MOTHER DAUGHTER OF YOUR SON
HUMBLE AND MOST HIGH THAT CREATURE
FIXED TERM OF ETERNAL COUNCIL
IF YOU 'SHE THE HUMAN NATURE
SUCH NOBILITY YES THAT THE FACTOR
DID NOT DISDAIN TO YOUR INVOICE
IN LOVE thy womb rekindled
FOR WHICH HOT ETERNAL PEACE
SO THIS FLOWER HAS GERMINATED
Dante - Par. XXXIII
ANO MARIANO MCMLIV
Dante Alighieri"Durante degli Alighieri, simply referred to as Dante (c. 1265–1321), was a major Italian poet of the Middle Ages. His Divine Comedy, originally called La Comedia and later called Divina by Boccaccio, is widely considered the greatest literary work composed in the Italian language and a masterpiece of world literature.
In Italy he is known as il Sommo Poeta ("the Supreme Poet") or just il Poeta. He, Petrarch and Boccaccio are also known as "the three fountains" or "the three crowns". Dante is also called the "Father of the Italian language"."
