Applications are now open for the 20th International Summer School in Dante Studies, jointly organized by the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, the Centro Dantesco dei Frati Minori Conventuali di Ravenna, and the University of Verona.
Held in Ravenna and Verona from August 22–27, 2026, the program offers an intensive and multidisciplinary exploration of Dante’s life, works, thought, and reception. This special twentieth-anniversary edition features lectures by leading international scholars and addresses topics ranging from Dante and Franciscan culture to manuscript studies, cartography, paleography, literary reception, and contemporary Dante scholarship.
The Summer School is open to undergraduate and graduate students, doctoral candidates, teachers, researchers, and all those with a serious interest in Dante and medieval Italian culture.
