Sarah Vine on Dante
"Whenever I have too much to drink, I bang on about Dante ...." Sarah Vine makes a choice from the heart - the great Italian writer Dante Alighieri, father of the Italian language and author of the Divine Comedy. "I'm not an expert," she says, "mine is more of a romantic infatuation."
As well as the outspoken Daily Mail columnist, Matthew Parris is joined by Claire Honess, professor of Italian studies at Leeds University.
Together they piece together an extraordinary life. Includes extracts from Radio 4's production of the Divine Comedy starring John Hurt
Producer: Miles Warde
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in April 2014.
