Anastagi

Profile

Guido del Duca, speaking in Purgatorio, recalls with regret certain families of Romagna now extinct, cited in a list of illustrious houses. Among these, after the Traversari and before other local lineages, the Anastagi are named. The mention, contained in Guido del Duca's discourse on the progressive impoverishment of the region, associates the Anastagi with a nobility that once flourished and now appears lost. No further details are provided regarding their placement in the scene or their individual biography, since the text limits itself to a brief reference within an enumerative sequence of names of Romagnol houses.
