The Glory of Dante: An Evening with Richard Alston

CO.AS.IT. and Dante Alighieri Society invite you to join an evening with Richard Alston to present his book, 'The Glory of Dante'.

Dante Alighieri, an Italian poet, writer, and philosopher, stands out for his enduring and celebrated legacy. Unlike typical literature grounded in the present, Dante’s 'Divine Comedy' offers a transcendental experience, exploring profound spiritual and existential questions.

Richard Alston is an Australian businessman, former politician and former barrister. He served as a Senator for Victoria from 1986 to 2004, representing the Liberal Party. During the Howard government he held ministerial office as Minister for Communications and the Arts (1996–1997), Communications, the Information Economy and the Arts (1997–1998), and Communications, Information Technology and the Arts (1998–2003).
