Beschreibung

The year 2016 is the four hundredth anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death, the greatest playwright and poet of the English language. In reality, it was an illiterate actor who died in 1616. He had pilfered not only the stage name, but also the works of two Italian immigrants, Michelangelo and Giovanni Florio, father and son, who emigrated to England because of the Inquisition. In the last four centuries the British have falsified and possibly destroyed documents that would have led to a different but real truth. But, as the saying goes, there is no perfect crime. Who would have imagined that hidden in commonly used words there are coded messages, and in phrases seemingly banal or meaningless, information directed to the few then able to decipher it? The author of this book, Professor Vito Costantini, decoding for the first time in history eight different messages, finds and reveals the true identity of Shakespeare and the ambiguous symbols and their meaning on the portrait for the First Folio.

I THE BRITISH AND DANTE

If, one day, it would be discovered that Dante were an Englishman, the English people would use any means possible, including political pressure and diplomacy, to make this truth public. And they would not stop until the biography of the author of would be rewritten, with the official state imprimatur, because of this new fact. Nothing would intimidate them: strong because of their national pride, they would fight to have as their own this greatest of poets. The English people, I am sure, would take Dante back to their country with all the honors due to such poet, and possibly make him their new national icon.
