“Inferno V” is conceived as a unique digital journey through the second circle of the Hell, where lie those punished for their sins of passion. Souls are whirled by eternal winds, as in life they felt themselves helpless in the tempests of love.
Here Dante meets legendary men and women from different ages and places: Dido the Queen of Carthage, Helen of Troy, Achilles of Sparta, Cleopatra of Egypt, Tristan the knight of the Round Table, all forever punished for yielding to passion.
This is also where Dante tells us the immortal story of Paolo and Francesca, the two famous lovers whose overpowering passion and tragic fate inspired generations of poets and artists in the years after. “Inferno V” combines augmented reality with the timeless words of Dante Alighieri.

Visitors in Casa Italia can access the Inferno V App directly on their mobile phones. All contents are available in Vietnamese as well as in Italian, English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. Headphones are recommended.
The special inauguration of the event will take place at 2pm on March 25.
Opening hours: Daily from 10am to 8.30pm. Free entrance.
