All the associations of the place centre in and radiate from Dante and his unearthly poem, so much of which was written here or hereabouts. It is extraordinary how he has appropriated the memories of the place, even down to Romeo and Juliet who by virtue of their immortalized loves belong as much to our times as to their own by the single well-known line: Vieni a veder Montecchi e Capelletti.
