    Nella Divina Commedia, Dante racconta di...

    • ... un viaggio attraverso il Mar Mediterraneo

    Correct Answer
    A. ... un viaggio nell'aldilà
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "un viaggio nell'aldilà" which translates to "a journey through the afterlife" in English. This is because in the Divina Commedia, Dante describes his journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, guided by the poet Virgil and later by Beatrice. The poem is a symbolic representation of the soul's journey towards God and explores themes of sin, redemption, and the nature of the divine. Dante's journey through the afterlife is a central theme in the Divina Commedia and is the main focus of the narrative.
