Noto, Giuseppe, "Provenzalismo e catalanismo in Dante: sui personaggi di Manfredi e di Federico di Sicilia nella Commedia", L'Alighieri Rassegna dantesca, 58 nuova serie/luglio-dicembre (2021), 19-33.

Resum
Starting from the way in which, at the beginning of the purgatorial journey, and thus marking the entire second cantica, the character of Manfredi is outlined, the essay questions Dante's (biblical and literary) sources, reaching the conclusion that the figure of Frederick II's son in Purgatory constitutes above all an episode of the Poet's “Provençalism”. The author also gives an account of some research he is conducting on the possible relations (direct or indirect) between Dante (and Dante's myth) and the complex figure of Frederick III of Sicily, and more generally on the system of relations between Dante and Catalan-Aragonese culture.
