When Mirabile Visione: Inferno was released two years ago, directed by Matteo Gagliardi and featuring Luigi Diberti and Benedetta Buccellato, it was met with great acclaim from both critics and audiences, eventually reaching eighth place in the Cinetel rankings. It now arrives in Sydney, confirming the strong interest in a work that explores Dante’s Inferno in an original and compelling way.
We at the Dante Alighieri Society of Sydney are delighted to present Mirabile Visione: Inferno to our community for DanteDì 2026, convinced of the enduring relevance of Dante’s message and its ability to speak to people of all ages and backgrounds.
Inspired by the 19th-century illustrations of the Parma artist Francesco Scaramuzza, the film invites viewers, much like Dante guided by Virgil, to descend into the Inferno alongside Benedetta Buccellato (Professor Argenti), who reveals to her students a more revolutionary and unexpected Dante, and Luigi Diberti (Father Guglielmo), who gives voice to the poet’s most authentic message. Through their guidance, the Commedia emerges as a work of beauty, awakening and profound moral reflection.
In Mirabile Visione: Inferno, the afflictions of our time are laid bare: each circle becomes a mirror of modern society, reflecting both human potential and human limits, including the global environmental and climate crisis and the tensions inherent in contemporary capitalist culture. The result is an immersive and thought-provoking journey that reconnects Dante’s vision with the challenges of the present, inviting us to rediscover the enduring power of his poetry.
Mirabile Visione: Inferno is the first chapter of a trilogy, one per cantica, dedicated to the Illustrious Poet and the Divine Comedy.
