Dantedì 2026: March 25 schools celebrate Dante

March 25 marks Dantedì, the national day dedicated to Dante Alighieri. In 2026 schools throughout Italy are taking part with a range of activities: collective readings, educational workshops and interdisciplinary projects designed to engage students of all ages.

Planned activities

• Collective readings of selected passages from the Divine Comedy and other Dante works;
• Workshops and educational projects linking literature, history and visual arts;
• Theatrical performances and classroom presentations;
• Exhibitions, guided paths and talks with experts to explore Dante's historical and cultural context.

Organized locally by schools in collaboration with cultural institutions and libraries, these initiatives aim to renew interest in Italy's literary heritage and to foster dialogue between new generations and Dantean tradition.
