A photo of the skull of Dante Alighieri from Fabio Frassetto’s 1933 book ‘Dantis Ossa’ (Dante’s bones). Since his death in 1321, his remains have been moved, hidden, lost, and examined. That he has had an eventful postmortem life is not unusual - and his is certainly not the strangest story.

A book laid against a red velvet cloth with a black and white image of a a skull with no mandible.
