Orvieto, home of the great American Dante translator Andrew Frisardi! Funnily enough, I was just about to head to bed and look for a passage in his translation of the Vita Nova to read tomorrow at my Dante dinner (May 1 is the anniversary of the date on which Dante met Beatrice for the first time). Thanks, reader…
