More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step from the sunlit arcades of Bologna into a low-lit room, visor in hand, and a voice—Dante’s—pulls you forward. The floor hums as virtual terrain opens beneath your boots: a black river crossed by Caronte, trees that no longer bear fruit, and a colossal, trembling Lucifer turning slowly in the abyss. The experience stages five cantos from the Divine Comedy in first person, letting Dante and Virgil guide you past the Ignavi, the suicides, the usurers, and finally to the frozen center of Hell.
