Emma Marigliano will be presenting an illustrated talk titled "Dante and Popular Culture: DanteDi" at The Portico Library in Manchester on March 25, 2024. This event will explore the enduring influence of Dante Alighieri on modern imagination and popular culture. T.S. Eliot once famously stated, "Dante and Shakespeare divide the world between them. There is no third." This sentiment reflects the profound impact that both Dante and Shakespeare have had on our understanding of the human condition. Dante, a renowned poet and philosopher from Florence, Italy, was unjustly exiled from his beloved city, which inspired his greatest work, La Commedia. This epic poem takes readers on a journey through the depths of Inferno, Purgatory, and ultimately to the bliss of Paradise. Dante's vivid descriptions of Inferno's ghastly punishments have particularly influenced artists, filmmakers, and writers. From early film-makers to modern artists, Dante's influence can be seen worldwide, from New York to Tokyo. Emma Marigliano, the former Head Librarian of The Portico Library, is an expert in illustrated editions and has a passion for the artistry found in Dante's Divine Comedy. Her talk will delve into the various manifestations of Dante's influence in popular culture, exploring everything from films to comics, typewriters to sand sculptures. Join us at The Portico Library for this enlightening exploration of Dante's profound impact on our modern world. Tickets for this event are available for £7.21.

As a supporter, visiting Etihad Stadium was a fantastic experience. The stadium itself is immaculate and well-maintained, providing a great environment for watching the match. The food options were plentiful, offering a variety of choices that added to the overall enjoyment. It would have been perfect if we could eat and drink while watching the game, but even so, the experience was memorable and enjoyable. Highly recommend for any football fan!

Went to Happy seasons restaurant and TSUJIRI in Manchester Chinatown with my mates after exams. Authentic Chinese cuisine with reasonable prices. The matcha sundae was also delicious. There are also many nice Asian restaurants around the area.

Visited the cathedral with my partner for an ibiza classical evening. We both thoroughly enjoyed it! The lighting and sound system were amazing.The only faults I had with the place was that the toilets had no lighting around them ,but there were plenty of them though, so I wasn&#39;t queuing for long.
