Dante and Farinata have hardly begun their conversation when another soul, that of Cavalcante de’ Cavalcanti, the father of Dante’s intimate friend Guido, rises up and interrupts them, wondering why his son has not accompanied Dante here.

 Dante e Farinata   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Manente degli Uberti (detto Farinata) era stato capo dei ghibellini per circa 25 anni; nel 1248 riuscì a far cacciare i guelfi nemici da Firenze, ma dopo dieci anni fu cacciato a sua volta e decise di organizzare la vendetta contro Firenze alleandosi con i ghibellini senesi.
Farinata morì nel 1264 (l’anno prima che Dante nascesse), ma circa vent’anni dopo, i guelfi, una volta riconquistato il potere, lo processarono insieme ai suoi discendenti e li condannarono all’esilio.
Farinata non può conoscere il presente ma può avere visione del futuro e predice a Dante il suo avvenire doloroso: prima che la faccia della luna risplenda cinquanta volte, il poeta conoscerà l’esilio.

 Cambon: Lectura Dantis: Inferno X
The sequel to Farinata's eloquent interruption of Virgil's and Dante's conversation is marked by a rise in dramatic pitch and an acceleration of rhythm into alternating units of vivid reportorial depiction and gusts of feverish staccato utterance.
Farinata and Cavalcante ignore each other; they relate to their Florentine visitor from the world of the living, but not to each other, and this noncommunication, too, reflects the social wounds that are Florence's heritage by now.
Farinata's straightforward «Touché!» is of a piece with his earlier utterances, and his fiber again shows in the dark prediction of exile that both pays back Dante in kind, restoring a balance of sorts, and acknowledges their shared lot.

 Farinata degli Uberti
Farinata visse a Firenze nei primi decenni del XIII secolo, mentre la città era tormentata da continue lotte fratricide tra guelfi e ghibellini.

A Firenze Farinata morì nel 1264, due anni prima della battaglia di Benevento che segnò il definitivo tramonto della potenza sveva in Italia e il definitivo rientro dei guelfi a Firenze.
