For the Catholic Church, this is a spiritually significant year, but the Jubilee also has inevitable repercussions on customs, traditions, society, art, and public works, making it an opportunity to discover much about Italy. Put simply, it can be a journey of knowledge from multiple perspectives.

The first Jubilee was proclaimed in 1300 by Pope Boniface VIII with the Bull Antiquorum Habet Fida Relatio. References to it appear in Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy, where he not only describes the immense flow of pilgrims crossing the bridge in front of Castel Sant’Angelo but also recounts his own journey through Hell (symbolizing sin), Purgatory (expiation), and Paradise (bliss).
