Inspired by the painting "Dante and Virgil in Hell", this motif visualizes the eternal battle between Gianni Schicchi and Capocchio, highlighting the consequences of human actions. The endless interweaving of characters symbolizes how our choices can bind our fate in a complex way, highlighting the inevitability of consequences. Every choice reverberates through life and history, reminding us of the meaning of our actions and their long-term effects.

In the Inferno scene depicted by Dante, Gianni Schicchi, a traitor who pretended to be dead in order to obtain an inheritance, and Capocchio, an alchemist and heretic who forged gold, are condemned to suffer eternally for their deceptions. Their constant struggle is a powerful metaphor for how immoral acts entangle their perpetrators in endless conflict and pain. This allegory reminds us that our actions can leave a lasting mark and determine our destiny.

Symbolism is always multi-layered in nature and opens up in multiple interpretations, which everyone can approach from their own starting points, thus enriching the understanding of the different dimensions of the symbol.
