In Inferno X, Dante meets the Epicureans and speaks with two of them, Farinata deli Uberti e Cavalcante de' Cavalcanti. The fragmentation that divided Florence is conveyed through a number of interruptions during the conversation between the pilgrim and the two characters. By placing a Ghibelline and a Guelph next to each other in the same tomb, Dante deals with the belief of the immortality of the soul and its implications in the political life.
