Students are expected to read the poem in its entirety, relying on the commentary either by Anna Maria Chiavacci Leonardi (republished several times by both the publishing houses Mondadori and Zanichelli, in in hard and paperback edition), or Pasquini-Quaglio (publisher: Garzanti), or by Giorgio Inglese (publisher: Carocci). The most part of commentaries to the "Commedia" are available online at either https://dante.dartmouth.edu or at http://dantelab.dartmouth.edu.
