Fatti non foste a viver come bruti, ma a seguir virtute e canoscenza
Dante Alighieri
Bruti here means ignorance, and ugliness
and gross, intended as the antonym of neat
as the following of virtue and knowledge shall render
neat what was gross; beauty what was ugly; graceful who was disgraced
It's therefore refinement, artistical dedication
as a conscience, a will, a foresee.
whilst who's following virtute e canoscenza is the player, the adventurer.
Infact the protagonist of the Divina Commedia is an adventurer,
and the souls in the Inferno are ex NPCs.
