Original artwork description:

An artwork created for the Contemporary Art Exhibition "Dante Settecento. One hundred artists draw the Divine Comedy."

A very symbolic representation was intended by the artist of Piccarda Donati, a young woman placed among the defective souls by Dante in Canto III of Paradise for her dedication to the monastic life, but since she was kidnapped by her brother and forced to marry against her will, she was unable to fulfill her vows.

It is in accordance with the work's pictorial research on freedom that the work emphasizes male violence (the fist in the foreground clutching the veil torn from the woman) which prevents the woman from exercising her right to self-determination (he rips her veil, symbolizing her desire for monastic life).

Catalogue number 180

Assunta Cassa has created her own original figurative language through the division of the visual space that originates from the fragmentation into pixels of digital images.

The artist's signature is on the front of the work and on the back, together with the title of the painting, the year of creation, the technique and the catalog number.
