Dante Alighieri had a major influence on the career of his fellow citizen Ezio Anichini (1886-1948).
The Florentine artist – who collaborated with magazines such as
“Almanacco italiano Bemporad”, “Il Giornalino della Domenica”, and
“Scena illustrata” since the very early 1900s – often worked on
portraits of the famous poet, represented scenes from his works, and
illustrated postcards to celebrate the 600-year anniversary of Dante’s
death, in 1921.
