D A N T E
The forging of a contemporary relic inspired by the Divine Comedy.
Some works are not born for the present. They are meant to cross time.
Dante is a relic sculpted in silver, born from the imagery of the Divine Comedy and the engravings of Gustave Doré.
It is not just a ring, it is a threshold.
THE GATE
On the inner side of the ring lies a gate. It is not the gate described by Dante, but a gate reinterpreted by DECEM, where the symbols of the Inferno condense into a narrative seal: the serpent, the guardian, and the three steps of passage.
FORGED IN THE TEMPLE
Every DECEM relic is born from the encounter between ancient techniques and contemporary sculpture.
Dante is forged through the lost-wax casting process, the same method used for millennia to transform a model into metal.
ACCESS
Dante is not always available.
Access is granted only during temporal windows that open at specific moments of the year.
When the window opens, the work may be acquired for a limited time.
Once it closes, the relic returns to the Temple.
