The Purgatorio is the second canticle of Dante's Divine Comedy, depicting a mountain where souls are purified of their sins before entering Heaven. It is the most humanly appealing of the three canticles, full of tenderness and hope.
The most psychologically rich of the Comedy's canticles; its vision of hope and purgation is uniquely life-affirming.
