Magnum X Dante– Limited edition ice cream pops inspired by the Comedy

March 6, 2021 By Professor Arielle Saiber

Limited edition ice cream pops made in honor of the 700th anniversary of Dante’s death.  Purgatorio pop arriving in May-June, and Paradiso pop in July-August.

“Magnum, la più alta espressione del piacere nel mondo del gelato, celebra Dante con un omaggio alla sua Divina Commedia, la più alta espressione d’arte della storia della letteratura italiana.  A 700 anni dalla morte del Sommo Poeta, arrivano tre limited edition dedicate alle tre cantiche Dantesche, per vivere un’esperienza coinvolgente e sorprendente.  Un viaggio che inizia dal gusto intrigante dell’inferno, per poi assaporare la dimensione multi-sensoriale del purgatorio e raggiungere il suo apice con il piacere puro e delicato del paradiso.”   —Magnum

“L’Inferno in scatola: 5 giochi da tavolo a tema dantesco”

March 4, 2021 By Laura Chatellier, FSU '23

lInferno-in-scatola-5-giochi-da-tavolo-a-tema-dantesco-2021“Probabilmente Dante Alighieri non lo avrebbe mai immaginato, ma a 700 anni dalla sua morte (datata 1321) esiste un filone di giochi da tavolo ispirati all’opera immortale del poeta fiorentino.

“È il caso di Dante Alighieri: Comedia – Inferno, che permette ai giocatori di accompagnare Dante e Virgilio tra le perdute genti, attraverso i cerchi dell’Inferno, in un gioco di carte semplice da spiegare e con un regolamento originale di draft a spirale. Collezionare incontri permette di guadagnare punti, ma attenzione a cadere in tentazione: prendere troppe copie uguali della stessa carta impedirà di fare punti. L’idea è del game designer Federico Latini, prodotta dalla casa editrice Sir Chester Cobblepot, italiana con sede a Ravenna, nonostante il nome british. La Comedia – Inferno è un gioco di carte adatto a tutti e bello anche da vedere, perché illustrato con le indimenticabili incisioni di Gustave Doré. Al momento è possibile preordinare una copia qui. Si tratta di una speciale edizione limitata (solo 700 copie e stanno finendo rapidamente), edita da Top Hat Games e disponibile in primavera. In futuro è possibile ci siano altre edizioni, ma per ora questa è l’unica confermata.” [, , ,]    –Luca Francescangeli, Wired.IT, January 12, 2021.

Dante’s New Pop Up: The Snow Lodge in Aspen

February 24, 2021 By Laura Chatellier, FSU '23

dujour-dantes-pop-up-snow-lodge-in-apsen-2021“New York City-based bar and restaurant Dante has taken over The Snow Lodge in Aspen for the winter season. Located at the base of Ajax Mountain, Dante at The Snow Lodge delivers the ultimate après-ski experience, featuring a chic, retro ski-designed restaurant and outdoor patio with scenic seating and fire pits, as well as live music, shops and wellness programming. ‘You couldn’t ask for a better spot when you come off the mountain for a cocktail,’ says Dante’s co-owner Linden Pride. Breakfast and lunch and an après-ski cocktail hour menu mirrors the offerings at their downtown two New York City locations, with all available for take-out and delivery through the Dante App. ‘We developed a dedicated menu of hot cocktails for outdoor dining with drinks such as our Hot Smoked Toddy, Hot Buttered Rum, Spiked Coffee and more,’ says Pride. ‘We’ve also brought over our most popular dishes like our pappardelle all’ragu with wild boar, which is perfect after a big day of skiing.'” [. . .]    –Natasha Wolff, Dujour.
