Abstract

For the first time in Russian science the article considers a project of the architectural monument to Dante Alighieri, the Italian medieval poet, conceived by artist Cesare Laurenti in the beginning of the 20th century, but never built. One of the main features of that monument was that it was inspired by the mausoleum project attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. The author of the article studies the cultural context in which Cesare Laurenti worked and which influenced his choice of the idea and its embodiment. Particular attention is given to ideological transformation of the project through time.
