Fans of the Fiorentia football team “welcomed” back player Dusan Vlahovic to the team with a reference to Dante.

Vlahovic left Fiorentia to play for Juventus in January, but recently returned to Forentia. He was greeted with “a very special banner covering the entire end of the arena that referenced Canto 26, the section of Dante’s Inferno, where his protagonist continues his journey through hell, that is dedicated to frauds,” Football Italia said.

The banner read: “Vlahovic, throughout Hell thy name is spread about!”

“Tevez, l’ultima follia. L’inferno sulla schiena”

December 11, 2014 By Professor Elizabeth Coggeshall

Tevez-tattoo-inferno-schiena-juventus-dante“‘Lasciate ogni speranza o voi che entrate.’ Tutto sommato potrebbe essere questo il messaggio dell’ultima follia di Carlitos Tevez: un maxi tatuaggio realizzato dall’artista polacco Piotrek Taton. Tutta la schiena dell’Apache (non cè più spazio) è così diventata un groviglio di anime perse, dannati e diavoli.” — Gaetano de Stefano, La Gazzetta dello Sport, December 9, 2014

“Una Divina Commedia per il catalano”

July 22, 2011 By Professor Arielle Saiber

una-divina-commedia-per-il-catalano“Dante Alighieri, nel suo celeberrimo poema, peregrin&ograve fino al paradiso, lasciandosi alle spalle prima inferno e poi purgatorio. L’excursus di Cesc Fabregas &egrave differente: attualmente all’Arsenal, una sorta di purgatorio calcistico vista la volont&agrave di partire, il calciatore deve decidere se scendere tra le fiamme e congiungersi al Diavolo, oppure salire verso l'”eden” dorato di Barcellona, citt&agrave natale e sede del club campione d’Europa.” [. . .]    –Matteo Calcagni, Tutto Mercato Web, July 22, 2011

“A Guy From Green Bay Plays the Other Football”

June 29, 2009 By Gretchen Williams '14

a-guy-from-green-bay-plays-the-other-football“. . . Beasley was soon headed to Europe, and [Jay] DeMerit would even beat him there, but Beasley’s career was flying first class while DeMerit’s was stowed in baggage. He had a gnawing feeling that he could be a professional, but while Beasley ended up first at PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands in 2004, DeMerit alighted in 2003 at Southall, a semiprofessional team outside of London. If Dante had a seventh circle of soccer hell, this was it.” [. . .]    –Jere’ Longman, The New York Times, June 27, 2009
