Summary/Abstract: The article is an interpretation of the first stanzas of the XI canto of Paradise in the Divine Commedy of Dante. The authorial reflexion, which is not connected directly to the events in the poem, has been analysed in its particular context – the sphere of the Sun, a place of stay of the saved endowed with distinct minds – and subsequently, as an independent composition, even if the instrument of the interpretation will be first of all a confrontation with other passages of the poem. The problem posed by Dante, still valid nowadays, is that of searching for simplified roads to happiness and fulfillment.
