In Paradiso (Canto XVI), Dante incontra Cacciaguida, un suo antenato. Cacciaguida si lamenta di Firenze e dice pressappoco così: Firenze, (negli anni 1100 e 1200), è stata una città perfetta, ma ora, (nel 1300), con l'immigrazione, la decadenza e le lotte politiche, è una città rovinata!
Cacciaguida però non ha mai saputo che, nel 1400 e 1500, Firenze è diventata la "culla" del grande Rinascimento italiano, e che l'immigrazione, la decadenza e le lotte politiche sono ancora oggi un argomento attuale!

In Paradise (Canto XVI), Dante meets Cacciaguida, one of his ancestors. Cacciaguida complains about Florence and says something like: "Florence, (in the years 1100 and 1200), was a perfect city, but now, (in 1300), with immigration, decadence and political struggles, it is a ruined city!"

However, Cacciaguida has never known that in the years 1400 and 1500, Florence became the "cradle" of the great Italian Renaissance, and that immigration, decadence and political struggles are still a current topic today!
