Eden, Purgatorio, Canto XXVIII. The Botanical Gardens of Villa Taranto provide the setting for the serene, lush plain of the Earthly Paradise at the summit of Mount Purgatory. The reading is briefly introduced and illustrated, leaving the audience with the original texts of Dante’s poem—just a few lines of intense poetry—within the beauty of a garden rich in poetry.
