Cool wallet bro
Make a video about Isabelle Janke!
You shit with that wallet?
“I wonder where I can get a wallet like that?”
Ok, did I read the script good?
Do purgatorio next
My guy Dante really just made the first ever tier list
Where he goes to S tier
Virgil is an S tier pagan
"starting off with lust. I mean, it's a sin, but it's not that bad. I'm gonna put it in C tier"

If you keep dunking on Dante's writing like this, he's gonna put you in the turbo layer of Hell when he writes Dante's Inferno 2, man.

I love this comment
Dante’s reincarnation: “And here we reach the 9th circle of Super Hell where we see Wendigoon who made fun of me on RUclips.”
@@agiammarco94 That's exactly what I want
At the time of my comment the original comment has 666 likes
Love that Dante considers homosexuality to be a sin worse than murder and condemns people to endless suffering, in his fanfiction where he is endlessley dick riding Virgil.
And everyone is endlessly masturbating his ego.
Christian projection... nothing new
Yeah, but Vergil is SOHH KEWL
Like, dude,, these Greeks and early Romans aren’t in hell bc they were born before Jesus. They’re sodomites, Harold.
We know now that there are... commonalities among religious types irrational hatred towards being gay.
Now I'm wondering. I have no actual historical proof, of course not this just started as a joke. I wonder though...
I can't lie, Satan being a 3-headed mountain sized monster chewing on the 3 biggest sinners of all time has got to be the best character design I've ever seen.
666 likes lol
That's a really interesting represetation of Satan, cause it's not an active entity, just a machinery, leaving to the sinners all responsability
Wait until Paradisio if you understand what you are looking at.
Dante: *is in literal hell*
Also Dante: Damn... well... at least we're not in Pisa.
Yeah fuck pisa
Wait until you see Pomezia.
as someone who lives in Pisa i can tell you that despite many centurys have past people form Florance and other big citys in Tuscany still playfully hate Pisa and make similar jokes

The actual reason lust wasn't a deeper circle of hell is because of all the lust he felt for vergil.
You're the kind of person that calls Sam and Frodo gay. You probably just don't know what having a friend is like
@@Opener73it was a joke calm down
@@Opener73Dante and Virgil weren't even alive at the same time, they were not friends 😭 Wtf do Frodo and Sam have to do with this
@akechi1068 wow you figure that out on your own? Did you know Sam and Fordo aren't real people too? They are both friends within a story. Anytime two guys are loyal friends, weirdos want to make them a couple. The reason is because they are degenerates who never had or been a good friend.
@akechi1068 "cus gay people killed my grandma ok!!"
Dante: “I can excuse murder, but I draw the line at homosexuality.”
The Church: “You can excuse murder?”
Makes sense, he was sending so many to hell in his fiction
The amount of stuff the church already excuses lol pot calling a kettle black
Biblical fanfiction is wiiiiild-
this MIGHT be community
I mean, the crusades were a whole thing, so the church must of agreed
dantes inferno is basically just

I don't know how accurate it is to call the Divine Comedy a self-insert fanfic but it certainly feels like it
It is absolutely accurate to call it a self-insert fanfic
Original sonichu
well, it's a fanfic with him inserted, so i'd say it's accurate
My boy Dante really woke up one day and decided to write the first ever fanfic in human history, and everyone to this day is still fine with that
Intruder alert
A RED SPY IS IN THE BASE
ALTERNATE SPOTTED BOYS, LIGHT 'EM UP
"A RED SPY IS IN THE BASE?!"
Dante has "what is going on in Florence" as an option in all speech encounters.
He still needs to start the Florence quest line.
this reminds me of when i ignore main quest in zelda to do side quests and everyone i talk to vaguely references the mess I'm supposed to be fixing
He is basically Ryo from Shenmue except instead of looking for sailors he really wants to know what's going on in Florence.
This story would be a great concept for a story driven narrative game you are Dante wandering through hell progressively falling deeper into hell until you reach the center of hell and make your way all the way to paradise
X - Sarcastic
A - Yes
B - No
Y - Have you heard of any news from Florence?
Fun fact: in the book of Purgatory, Dante implies he himself will end up on the ledge that punishes people who were arrogant in life. So, he not only was full of himself, he happily embraced it
I thought of that too...he is narcissistic, judgemental, lacks true empathy to be honest...he only sympathizes with anyone who is from Rome, not even Italians in general 😂 or famous philosophers from ancient greece...who are still in hell.
Oh so he's going to hell himself?
That is hilarious omg
@@jeffreyphillip936 no, he says he'll pass a lot of time in the frame of Pride in Purgatory
The idea is that Purgatory is a temporary penitence for virtuous souls that aren't ready for Heaven when they die.
@@jeffreyphillip936 nope, not hell, he's too good for that. Guess he figured putting himself in heaven would've been a little too on the nose, so he settled for purgatory instead, which has ledges to climb to since it's a mountain
i like how Dante amd Vergil's characters treat the literal hell with horrors beyond comprehension like a safari trip
like, Vergil saw guys who got turned into trees with their former human bodies hanging on the branches of their new bodies and told Dante to literally break off one of those guys' limb like a stupid "heya pull my finger" type of prank
I love how he put debt collectors deeper than literally Attila the Hun, like you know he had some landlord he HAAAAATEDDDDD
I'm currently studying Dante in college and what i got from Inferno is that it's 70% political symbolism, 10% religious beliefs and 20% virgin Dante vs. Gigachad Virgil
@@am-ranth8955 lol

Tax collector's going straight to the bottom of hell is actually pretty based
'Based' is a new word that seems really popular. What exactly does it mean? Not trying to start anything, honestly curious.
@@seanrosenau2088 “based in facts” or just something you say when someone says an opinion you agree with, so in this instance they believe tax collectors going to hell is a good/righteous thing :)

@@Hamboarding ya to each other,but to every one else is fine
You’re forgetting the most influential aspect of the Divine Comedy. What is considered the “standard Italian” language is the Florence dialect because that’s what Dante wrote in and it is what is taught worldwide as “Italian”
Fun fact, the Lust level's contropasso or punishment is not a whirlwind. That was a figure of speech and all people who read the original version and understand the language will tell you that those people are actually just always on the verge of an orgasm but never being able to achieve one.
that actually doesn't sounds that bad

@@mariawhite7337 We all have a little Dante in us ✨
Drake be like
It just dawned on me, how the name “Dante’s Inferno” is, quite literally, a hell of Dante’s design. Not in the sense that it caters to his weaknesses to torture him, as other stories do, but it’s literally a hell the he thought up and decided upon. Since it’s a comedy, I don’t really feel like he believes this stuff, but believes that this stuff would be accurate in a world of his making. It’s like Dante, himself, is being led through a hell that he created by someone he admires. This isn’t THE hell, it’s Dante’s hell: the hell Dante made. It would explain all of the “I don’t like you, so you’re in hell now”.
But maybe I’m coping XD I’d believe it.
I wouldn't say you're coping at all. That sounds like a much more genuine interpretation than some of these brain rot "lawl fan insert" comments with 5k+ likes.
It reminds me of that one part in the game(yes, I'm aware of their massive differences) where Dante demands to know why he can't see the enemies of the crusaders in the Inferno. Lucifer responds mockingly that they thought their cause was holy too, implying that they are indeed suffering as well, and then says "But this isn't their hell Dante, it's yours".
Genuinely one of the best takes I’ve heard on this
But you can make these assumptions only in english. In the original language, it's just Inferno, nothing else

@@tunestable I am his reincarnation and I can say with certainty that I'm a pretty nice guy.
Dante was making self-insert Fanfic before things like AO3 and Wattpad. He was really a pioneer if you think about it
Not really. Most Greek stories of travellers describe how they find and defeat all kinds of crazy monsters. This is as old as humanity
i forgot about wattpad for a hot minute you just unlocked core memory
@@Chillerll But the thing is those travellers either thought what they saw or experienced were actual monsters because of the gap in knowledge back then where they would attribute any unusual encounters with monsters, or they were half truths that are exaggerated to all hell and are presented as actual truth, The Divine Comedy isn't like this because it does not make any effort in presenting that it actually happened nor was Dante himself testifying what he wrote was true, it was still fiction when 'fiction' wasn't an established term
He’s a petty icon 😂
@@hirako7620whilst this may be true, Dante still wasn’t an originator of the self insert, as most medieval works either talk of generic knights, the round table, the fae, or (and this is the relevant one) stories that revolve around the person’s very fictional adventures with a religious character. This is not to say the divine comedy is bad, it’s actually completely amazing and very innovative, but the fact that it was a self insert fanfic isn’t the innovative part. Hope this helps. \(^o^)/
The idea of Dante having a personal experience with tax collectors and aggressively writing them into the deeper parts of hell in his fanfic makes me laugh
He understands the human condition

Dante created fanfiction and people just consider it canon
And we study it for at least 3 years in the Italian school system. Fun times.
I mean twilight fanfiction became cannon in a way... in the form of fifty shades of grey. So anything is possible!

You missed mentioning the 800 year old fart joke. While Dante and Virgil are walking by the demons, one of them "made a trumpet of his ass."
I'm using that line from now on 🤣
800 years old
Oh goodness, this gave me a good laugh 😅
In italian it's "e del cul fece trombetta" which just sounds perfect and wholesome
Its really is the divine comedy
Dante is the first fanfic writer in history, he even has a self insert who has his favorite character tell him he’s awesome
OMG stop, this is hilarious 🤣 but so true. I legit thought the same thing.
Don’t forget his very own Mary Sue angel Beatrice. A woman who he only met twice (first at 9 years old) with the meetings about 9 years apart, who married someone else. I don’t think they were ever romantically involved. But he held unrequited love his entire life.
That is the ultimate fanfic move: turn your crush (who probably doesn’t know you exist) into a Perfect Mary Sue who is totally in love with you because you are soooo cool…
He definitely had a praise kink
dante is a lot like chris chan, he paints himself as a man everyone loves and respects in his own story and includes lots of people he looks up to and knows in real life. he also punishes people he didn't like in real life, just like chris chan.
Fun fact: the Divine Comedy came to Dante in a dream, and it was basically treated as a holy vision by a bunch of people in the Catholic Church. Holy visions were kind of common back in the day? But yeah, people believed that he really went to Hell, Purgatory and Heaven and the Comedy is a retelling of a real thing he did.

Virgil thought it wouldn't count since he was already in hell and the mc had plot armor as a perk and 100 speech
"Virgil, hear me out. It's ironic justice...... He.... DESERVES that lie."
🤔🤔 Damn you right tho, just keep your bias chill you fkking hypocrite😂🤙
nah, he didn't lie he changed his mind
I mean Dante has done other things since in the original story he also ranted about how he hates certain cities and wished people in those cities would die.
A piece of old biblical self-insert fan-fiction is not only, one of the most hardcore, heavy metal, horrifying piece of fiction that a human being has ever put on a piece of paper, but also the basis of modern Italian.

With exceptions. I don’t know about you but eternally drowning in a river of boiling blood, boiling tar, having to stand in extremely hot sand and punished for sitting down, amongst other things are brutal for the sinners that’s intended for.
@@topsecret1837 there’s that and then walking with your head on backwards or something
Every punishment was a poethic way to counter the sin. Those who wanted to look too far ahead in the future, are condemned to look behind for eternity. Those who hid the truth for personal gain, are condemned to wander hidden in a flame. Those who tried to split people in life with their action, are now condemned to endure splitted in the body.
Dante was waaay ahead of his time! It was groundbreaking when he made Dante say "its Danting time" then infernoed all over the place

I'm envisioning Dante and Virgil wearing suits and sunglasses like the blues brothers. You know, because they're on a mission from God.
I love telling people that Dante was the first fanfic writer when they dunk on fanfic, seeing their faces is always fun.
The biggest sin Dante committed in this story is basically saying, "Help me out and I'll pay you with exposure." to everyone he meets.
which is funny cuz that’s an eighth layer sin
What else could he entice them with? They're not getting out, gold would be of little use, pleasures would forever more elude them...
ITS NOT A GAME PEOPLE, YOU COULD DIE TOMORROW, QUIT PLAYING AROUND, THESE ARE END TIMES!!!
TURN TO JESUS NOW! ASK HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS
STOP PUTTING YOUR HOPE IN THE GOVERNMENT, IN RELIGION, IN SCIENCE, IN WEALTH, IN CELEBRITIES, IN SPORTS, IN THE WORLD (IT WILL PERISH!)
Turn back to Jesus our Creator, not religion. Religion creates bondage, in Christ there is freedom. Im not talking church, im not talking religion, im talking relationship with your Creator. Call upon Jesus now and ask Him into your life and to forgive your sins.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." -John 14:6

OR
PUT YOUR TRUST IN JESUS WHO DIED ON THE CROSS AND TOOK THE WRATH OF GOD IN OUR PLACE FOR OUR SINS. IT'S A FREE GIFT BUT HE CANT FORCE YOU TO TAKE IT. WILL YOU CALL UPON HIM NOW AND SURRENDER TO HIM. TALK TO HIM LIKE A BEST FRIEND, HE'S WAITING AND HE LOVES YOU.

might I add. By the end of the story the whole hell must be like “Well, at least we are not in Florence, am I right, guys?” lol
Hey, wendigoon, this video came out around the time a close family member passed away and I couldn't watch this video bc linked memories, but i finally watched this and really made me get emotional and remind me of him. Thank you for being able to share such a story
I’m very grateful for you and your videos. I didn’t realize how in depth you go and the amount of content you probably have to go through until I was sitting in my history class, and my teacher had the idea to teach us about Dante’s Inferno so she put on another different video and I don’t wanna disrespect its creator but it didn’t talk about half the things you say. Thank you for the things you do and I can’t wait to see more content from you.

Flaming coffins? No the gay part was later
@Magne M layer 9 is for people who talk about their grindset on social media
I was thinking about that a bit. If the interiors are LEAD, that shit is stupidly heavy, hence lead pipe being a long running murder weapon in Clue. Depending on how those coats are constructed, they're possibly marching around in a manner where breathing would be next to impossible while being completely encumbered. (Not to mention what that would do to the shoulders the weight is draped over.) Worse than perma-roast, unlikely. Still not the best day in the afterlife to have.
@@jasonrhome710 ironically, a lead pipe is one of the least deadly weapons every.
you can punch a hole through lead, you can bend it, rip it with your bare hands even, lead is incredibly malleable.
the solid lead you see isn't actually solid lead, it'll be a lead alloy
but that also means you could mold the lead into a support system that you could lean back on while standing - the only way it would be heavy enough as pure lead would be if there's a lot of it, like inches thick all over - but lead being incredibly malleable means an inch think can be spread millimeters thin under enough pressure (less pressure the hotter it is...)
you could build a lot outta that coat
@Magne M damn imagine listening to drake in stage 1 limbo dude
I just noticed something on this watch. Dante wrote about the Earth being round. It's another refutation of the myth that people back then thought the Earth was flat until "Columbus proved it was round." I love it!
What I would really like to see is Wendigoon do a series of the Bible. Just explaining it all. I would love to listen to that!
listen to the weird bible podcast!
If Dante existed today he would've been a Redditor and made a podcast
He would've written a sprawling fanfic filled with his propoganda. Or worse... A webcomic.

Those aren’t the worst sins lmao
@@trooperz3499 they are the hardest to forgive because you can never be sure if the person is truly sorry.
Read the book 20 years ago, and I'm amazed at how much had forgotten or didn't catch in the first place. I really appreciate the commentary and insight
My guy you have such a way of explaining stories that hooks readers instantly. Only my second time watching you.

Dante’s comments about Pisa and Genoa make me realize how timeless of a tradition it is to dunk on nearby cities for no reason. Like I can already hear a New Yorker walking through hell and passing the frozen damned souls and being like, fuckin jersey amirite
“and this guy from new brunswick tried to charge $10 for a bacon egg and cheese, can you believe it? anyway he’s a tree now watch me break off his arm.”
Bro it's been like 800 years and they are still beefing 💀 When I tell you there's a story that says that Florentine bread is unsalted because Pisani were the ones selling the salt... And they would never pay money to a Pisano
*trips over a guy's head* "'ey I'm walking here!"
@cautiontape0 actually there were plenty of reasons for those cities to hate each other…first of all they were all maritime cities, thus they were strongly competing for the best export routes, which eventually lead them to be in war for various decades. If you are more interested about it just Google it, I’m no historian, but at the end of the day people from those cities hate each other still today.
Cringe
Just finished Inferno and was a little bit confused about parts of it, this video helped clear things up. Thank you!
Wedigoon thank you for making this video, it brings back a lot of nostalgia since I watched this on my first trip to Disneyland
Dante literally wrote a self-insert bible fanfic where he is a Gary Stu.
I don't believe he's a Gary Stu. While the story is centered on him, he presents himself as fallible. I know at least once Vergil admonishes him for having pity on those in Hell, since God has judged them as unworthy of such. Several times Vergil has to explain things to him. Dante grows throughout The Comedy. He's certainly not presented as THE BESTEST EVAHR, which is how I think of a Mary Sue.
Oh, please, how many people bought that idiot "overly sarcastic" review?
the Divine Comedy is written in first person just because to write "I did... I viewed" is more pregnant than writing "Charlie did... Charlie viewed". The "Dante" character of the Divine comedy is a worse version of the real life Dante. Is always scared (Dante was a war veteran) and much of the time he doesn't understand what's happening around him (when it was Dante the poet that wrote those allegories).
@@neutronalchemist3241 👎
I understand all these words separately
@@neutronalchemist3241 "overly sarcastic" You mean one of the best channels for this type of thing. How stupid do you have to be to call it an idiot?. If you don't like it then fine with you but it ain't idiotic as you call it.
It feels ironic that Dante breaks his word and "betrays" someone's trust in the 9th circle of hell, where people are being punished for betrayal.
likely intentional
A product of your environment message, irony... intentional or not? Hmmm.
Welp just hope to see your betrayed friend or family member or your gf even
@@spitgorge2021 Considering the rest of the self righteousness and opinionated moments i don't think it was intentional, i believe it was just a huge leak of Dante's ego being portrayed clearly without he noticing it. But if it was intentional at least he had some self-awareness
@@alexandrecussiol8827 Read parts 2 and 3 of the play. Dante is self aware, and addresses it more or less.
Also the trip through the afterlife is all a character journey for Dante, which very deliberately starts with him lost in Hell for a reason.
Stuff referenced in Limbus Company:
7:16 - Dante wakes up in a dark forest, is attacked by wild animals (in LCB it's characters with animal names/themes)
7:40 - Virgil is Vergilius in LCB who, just like Virgil, acts as Dante's guide through the story
8:45 - Vergilius literally tells Dante LCB that they have to go through the inferno
12:14 - This is just a hunch of mine, but I think the people who try to attack Mephi while Dante LCB and crew are travelling might be a parallel to the sea of lost souls
13:20 - The bus driver in LCB is Charon
17:05 - I feel like in LCB Vergilius gets this treatment instead of Dante. Also I have a hunch that this group could be reflected by Yuri and the other two fixers. So far I've only played up to the dungeon in Canto 3.5, but I have a feeling that these sort of characters that only appear for one or two cantos before dying or disappearing are meant to parallel the sinners Dante talks to in each layer
21:12 - Just a hunch of mine, but I feel like Effie and Saude could be a reference to these two. See previous note
Will update this as I progress through the game more
Good work, my guy
Im definitely digging your recap of this. Id love to see you do more! 😊
dante didn't include pride because he probably knew he'd have to put himself in that tier
Isn’t it the 8th? The one with giants?
@@Diamanrouge isn't it fraud?
@@vaniatanuwijaya7772 yeah you right I got that messed up.
The last one, 9th, Is the closest to pride because it divine Hubris. The circle of Lucifer is the one where the guys made an attempt at perfection.
I believe he did put Pride but it was in Purgatory. Even himself stated that Pride was also his flaw in his journey.
Funny how atleast dante is self aware that he was being prideful.
@@thatkotorguy422 Yes, Dante put himself in the pride layer, but being in Purgatory he will eventually ascend to the Paradise.

Yeah so original, really fed up with reading this shit on every video I see these days
Hahahahaha
this is it, this is the comment
It’s funny that the two guys that tried to kill Cesar are in the 9th circle, and the guy that sentenced Jesus Christ to death by crucifixion is like a solid mid 8th. Dante’s inferno, specifically who is in what circle, is not only the first fan fiction but also the first tier list.
OMG TRUE
The first fanfiction was the Aeneid by Virgil
@@user-ch9vd4cd3t they made it
Whats funny is that Ceasar gets to chill the the first circle as a virtuous pagan but Alexander the Great, someone who Caesar viewed as heroic and enviable is stuck in a boiling lake.
@@user-ch9vd4cd3t It means Dante ranks betrayal as the top tier of sins.
"No misery no torture just a lack of hope and nothingness" just like my life.
I’ve been watching this before bed - I keep falling asleep before finishing the video (it’s a long video)…this has unexpectedly become a night time routine now loll I’ll update when I finish it finally
Made it to layer 9
So according to Dante, some of the people who went to Hell include his teacher, landlords, fictional Greeks, and his favourite poets go there too but don't worry because they get their own exclusive club where they don't actually suffer lmao
I like to think that he included them just to add the "oh wow Dante you're so cool and smart!" moments
Don’t forget: fictional characters from his own works! Lol!
They’re in limbo which technically isn’t hell just a neutral place where decent ppl who lived and died before Jesus go. It just includes some of his favorite poets
And yet somehow this man who was a super fangirl for all of them is pious and worthy of a mission from God and won't go to hell
Thats for the good pagans, anyone who was good but born b4 jesus
i still can't believe they turned Dante and Vergil from Devil May Cry into real people.
And they can write bangers 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Obviously it's a epic game dude
You have shown motivation👍🏻
Now I imagine DMC Dante as this mega fan of his own brother for no apparent reason

After hearing you talk about this and Frankenstein, I would love to hear your take on Dostoyevsky’s “The Brothers Karamazov”. It’s personally my favorite of Dostoyevsky’s works and is a very good commentary on humanities capabilities for evil and good
Kinda funny how Dante's hell doesn't punish Pride/Vanity.

@@geekfreak315 Is it really pride if you openly acknowledge your limits?
It does punish pride, in the swamp part of hell after wrath

But his self-aggrandizing fanfiction sure doesn't sound like he has any big limits a normal person wouldn't have. Very "humble" indeed.

The one above was just made four hours ago. Seriously, come up with better material that isn't taken from the video and stop giving likes to this shit.
As an Italian I've had to read this book in high school and we'd go through every metaphor and explanation.
I didn't appreciate it back then as I was just a bored teen, but I still remember most of it and it fills my chest with Italian pride.
Reading in the original language was such a privilege, although complex and difficult, but I'm thankful I did.
Appreciate you for taking the time to learn and explain the Divina Commedia because I truly believe it is peak literature.

Dante and Virgil are the original Blues Brothers
Not Very Fun Fact: The Entire Divine Comedy rhymes in Italian. Specifically in Terza Rima, which is a type of Iambic Tercets, where each line is intertwined with the other (aba, bcb, cdc, etc.) It's difficult to work with, and I have no idea how Dante did this for around 101k words. Each line in Inferno is also 11 syllables.
good heavens! My mind is blown
This goes to show that, regardless of what one thinks of him, Dante really was a literary genius.
The Latin based languages, especially in their older, closer to original Latin form, are VERY prone to rhyme and double meanings. Some older European poets and writers went APE with that concept, in Italy you have Dante with his Afterlife epic, and in Portugal you have Luís de Camões with "Os Lusíadas", which is basically all about how Portugal was great, born from greatness and destined to greatness, and the Portuguese had Every God Ever on their side, and thus shouldn't mope around nor be negative.
Which is very ironic, because Portugal has always been a DEEPLY Catholic country, but Camões was out there invoking Muses and saying Odysseus/Ulysses founded Portugal, and Aphrodite felt very protective of us and Zeus went along with her. Don't get me started on the mentions of sea gods, that man must've gone through every single one.
And then, because I'm a literary nerd, another Portuguese author that got away with A LOT MORE THAN HE REALISTICALLY SHOULD HAVE, was Gil Vicente, specifically with his "Autos das Barcas" where he made comedies, in the modern sense because they were HEAVY on satire, in which a bunch of dead people have to either embarc on the boat to Hell or the boat to Heaven, and they all start spouting their supposed virtues, but the Devil heckles them and points their hipocrisy and flaws, and the Angel just, roasts them, so they go into the Devil's boat. Until a group of, if I remember correctly, humble friars arrive, and the Angel is so happy for finally having virtuous people the he scares them off and they run to the Hell boat with the Angel still giving chase.
And this is just in one of the Autos. Which are plays. That were performed, and still are. But back then were performed in front of the people they were criticizing. Gil Vicente feared no one.
i think this fact is actually quite fun

It ain't if you gotta study it and memorize entire passages (consider it's not modern Italian, it's kinda a proto Tuscan/Italian)
