'Dante gave them the language to describe something hellish'

Researchers are uncovering the links between industrial Manchester and the medieval poetry of Dante Alighieri

Dear members — today we have the latest hospital and vaccination data for Greater Manchester (which is released weekly by the combined authority), and a nice story from Dani about Manchester’s Dante Society.

Welcome to our new members who have subscribed recently — it’s great to have you on board. If you use Facebook, please do join our Millers Talk group. We don’t post in there every day, but it offers us a nice sounding board about story ideas sometimes and we do little polls about our coverage to get some extra guidance from you about where you think we should be putting our reporting energy. Apologies in advance for the regular discussion of Manchester’s city-centre birds.
