FeminineThe Divine ComedyHave you ever thought that an artist could have the idea of representing an all-feminine version of the Divine Comedy? Yet it is so! Are you curious to know more? Index:
Women, inspiring Muses Private Collection “Woman, you are not merely the handiwork of God, but also of men, who always render you beautiful with their hearts. […] Painters always give your forms new immortality” Rabindranath Tagore Women represent the ideal for art. For centuries they have guided the artistic inspiration of many painters, sculptors, writers and poets. One of the many ideas of the volcanic artist is to have made her the only protagonist of the various Songs of the Divine Comedy of the Supreme Poet. Read Roberto Piaia’s Biography Canto V Minos oil on canvas 100×100 cm. We begin this phantasmagorical journey penetrating the Canto V, where we find the aggressive Minos, with a tail twisted several times around its body. This signifies the location where sinners will have to atone for their sins. The demon is placed at the center of the scene between Paolo and Francesca, who are guilty of adultery. The Artist’s “piety” portrays the two protagonist figures in the forefront: a moment of stillness within the eternal drag of the storm. A soft cloth on which to remain seated is donated to Francesca. While ‘Paul’ is squatting on a burning rock highlighting an expression full of passion. Canto XXXIII oil on canvas 150×50 cm. In the work that illustrates the Canto XXXIII, Roberto Piaia managed to emotionally transport us to a cold atmosphere. Where the impetuous rage in which the main characters have sunk transpires: Count Ugolino della Gherardesca and Archbishop Ruggieri. The count is considered a deceiver of human nature, more than a political traitor. Incapable of forgiveness, he continues towards self-destruction. Enraging with implacable resentment on their executioner, responsible for the capture and horrible end to him and his family. Political hatred made him no less crazy than his executioner! Canto XV

The Sodomites are the souls of Canto XV, eternally condemned to walk in the rain of fire. In order to avoid the flames, the two pilgrims advance along one of the banks of the small river. They come across a damned who grabs Dante by the hem of his garment. The Poet recognizes him immediately, it’s Brunetto Latini, his teacher, who tells him a prophecy. “If you remain true to the principles that have inspired your actions until today, your work will bring you glory.” Virgil is portrayed by the artist with a worried expression for what is happening Dante’s face instead is surprised. Although aware that his teacher in life, while always pursuing the truth and good, has stayed away from it secretly fuel the habit. The Demons are in the background, unable to hit the two visitors, fighting furiously against each other. Canto XXII oil on canvas 60×60 cm. In the Canto XXII Roberto Piaia ironically depicts the chaos of swindlers, emphasizing theirs earthly sins with drapes and tinsels. Silver, pewter and fine fabrics, represent the metaphor their art of living dishonestly for today. Grabbing everything they could as much as possible with vile means. Canto XIX oil on canvas 60×60 cm. The Canto XIX seems littered with circular holes from which a damned legs are sticking out appearing upside down. The sinners that the divine justice is punishing are the simoniaca, who are traders of sacred objects. In this work Piaia demonstrates his ability to insert coded messages. The monster of the temporal power of the Church is noticeable within the flames of the ruins represented by the coat of arms of the Vatican. The basis unfolds in a series of symbols and reflections of light that interact and reflect one another. Create an imaginary staircase towards the abyss. While the certainty of the path towards the light for Dante and Virgil, is given by the decomposition of the primary colors, this is classic Piaia. Canto XXXIV (work in progress) paints Canto XXXIV One of the most impressive works is definitely the Canto XXXIV. The 7 Deadly Sins  The allegorical representation of the 7 Deadly Sins could not be missing in this collection. Screen Prints are available in this collection “My screen prints are not a simple copy of the original oil on canvas, because I actively intervene in each one. I add some material parts to create a three-dimensional effect. Use approx. 22 colors to get the maximum. Furthermore, in some I only represent a detail of the original work, such as the 7 deadly sins. This is because I want them to have a touch of originality”.
