misconceptions or unrecognized facts of why things or words are the way they are today

Angelo is an incredibly interesting man whose father (a labourer/contruction worker/home builder) used to recite passages to him (as lessons in life) from Dante's Inferno - which has been cited as the origin of the Italian language.  Dante's Inferno is about a man who fell from heaven and went to hell and talks of his journey - his fall from grace, to hell and up through purgatory and ultimately to heaven.  

 

Keep in mind, that Angelo is Italian and raised a "catholic" but also with his father's recitations of Dante's Inferno - which is a secular book with religious overtones, instilled in Angelo a love of words and understanding human nature and our place in this world.  

 

Angelo's upbringing influenced him to obtain a undergraduate degree in "Philology" which is the origin and meaning of words.  

 

Angelo is a well read man and his presentation will captivate and shed light on some of the misconceptions or unrecognized facts of why things or words are the way they are today.
