The cenotaph of Dante Alighieri in Santa Croce in Florence.
Walking inside the splendid basilica of Santa Croce in Florence, not by chance also called the Pantheon of Italian glories, there is also a splendid monument (a cenotaph) dedicated to Dante Alighieri.
The cenotaph differs from the tomb because it does not house the body of the deceased who in this case is buried in Ravenna.

Continuing along the right aisle, one first encounters Dante's cenotaph, an enormous monument from 1829; the poet is mourned by the figures of Italy and Poetry by Stefano Ricci, set in a neoclassical style à la Canova, but contaminated by the neo-medieval, romantic and celebratory spirit of the time.
