Dante's Divine Comedy was inspired
for a girl of only nine years old,
when the poet was impressed by her beauty.
Beatriz died at twenty-four years of age.
And his immortalization became
in one of the most amazing achievements
of human ingenuity - El Infierno
Dante imagines himself lost in a dark forest.
It glimpses the top of a mountain, resplendent in the sun.
It is the hill of salvation, to which he aspires to ascend.
Three wild beasts stand in the way of Dante:
A panther, which symbolizes greed,
A lion, symbolizing pride, and a she-wolf, symbolizing lust.
Beatriz, perfection according to Dante, descends to limbo
and he asks Virgil, a devout poet, to rescue and guide Dante.
Virgilio appears before Dante, and frees him from all danger.
He begs him to follow him to the gates of hell.
Through me, you enter the city of misfortunes.
Through me, you cross the eternal pain.
You will err among the abandoned forever.
Here there is no place for hope.
The river Acheron, on which Caron drags the souls of the dead.
As he approaches the condemned souls
on the river bank, threatens them.
"May misfortune pursue you, evil spirits,
Do not get excited about seeing the light of day again."
Dante is overwhelmed to see the sorry show
of the condemned souls, on the way to their fatal destiny.
Dante refuses to continue, Virgilio reassures him. Dante observes.
Those who during the great rebellion were neither with nor against God,
but with themselves, expelled by heaven.
Hell rejects them
so that the accursed tribe does not enjoy glory.
Homero, Horacio, Ovidio and Lucano welcome Virgilio.
He explains to them the nature of Dante's mission in Hell.
The lasting place of innocent lives
who died before Christ.

Men of State, Men of Science, all confined.
Its only punishment is to live without hope.
Every guilty soul appears before Judge Minos
who assigns the punishment.

and Helen of Troy, punished.
Francesca De Rimin and her lover, Paulo, demonstrate before Dante.
The story of Francesca de Rimini.
"One day we read the story of Lanceloto,"
a passionate lover.
Alone we were, no suspicion nearby.
Trembling, he kissed my lips.
That day we did not read more of the book.
Dante is overwhelmed with the sad story of Francesca.
And falls to the ground, passed out.
"I passed out of pity, I felt faint,
and I fell, like a dead body falls."

Dante recognizes a famous Glutton of Florence named Ciaccio.
The poet wants to know if
there are other Florentines punished in hell.
Ciaccio replies that many,
but more guilty and in lower circles.

He is enraged to see Dante, but he does not have the powers to hurt him.

Pedro de Vigna tells the story of how he was accused of treason
and they punished by stealing his sight
under the orders of the Emperor Frederick II.

The harpies, filthy and obscene, pepper the trees,
inflicting pain on the souls confined within them.

where the demons can not reach them,
for the Divine Power that gives them control
on their own circle prevents them from leaving it.
