THE “BELLA SCOLA” IN “LOCO APERTO”. THE DIVINE COMEDY AS ARCHETYPE OF OUTDOOR EDUCATION
Abstract
Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy can be interpreted as an archetype of outdoor education. The divine poet's journey through the three realms of the afterlife is a sort of school, "in loco aperto”. From a pedagogical-methodological perspective, the poem also offers suggestive insights into the benefits of an educational journey that takes place in an open environment through an experiential and emotional approach capable of bringing the poet and all humanity back on the "right path."
