"Peccati Mortali: Journey through the Depths of Sin" Embarking on a treacherous voyage, Dante and Virgil descend into the infernal realm known as Inferno. In Canto 7, they witness a haunting sight - the souls of the wrathful submerged in the murky waters of Styx. Their anguished cries echo through the air, forever trapped in their own fury. Continuing their descent, Canto 6 reveals a torrential downpour that relentlessly batters the gluttons. These souls are condemned to endure eternal rain, symbolizing their insatiable appetite for earthly pleasures. As they progress further into Purgatorio, Canto 19 introduces Adrian V - one among many avaricious souls. Bound by their greed and materialistic desires in life, these tormented spirits now face an eternity burdened with heavy weights. Amongst them lies Forese Donati, recognized by Dante himself amidst the gluttons in Purgatorio's Canto 23. His presence serves as a reminder that even those we once knew can be consumed by sin's grasp. Inferno's Canto 7 brings forth another group of lost souls - both prodigal and avaricious alike. Forced to roll immense burdens endlessly forward and backward, they pay for their reckless spending or hoarding during mortal existence. Pride takes center stage in Purgatorio's Canto 11 as prideful souls bear heavy stones upon their backs. Marble sculptures portraying this deadly sin serve as chilling reminders of its destructive power. Canto 13 unveils envy's grip on humanity through vivid illustrations depicting envious souls entwined together like serpents. Their punishment is to gaze eternally upon others' possessions without ever being able to possess them themselves. The multitude of slothful individuals fills Purgatorio's landscape in Canto 18; sluggishness personified.
