The Death of Virgil

Overview

The final hours of Virgil’s life unfold through memories of the past and the years he devoted to creating the Aeneid. As death draws closer, the poet increasingly questions the value of his own work and the ability of art to express the ultimate truth. His inner dialogue with the past and his conversations with Augustus become reflections on politics, beauty, art, and human destiny. Memories, visions, and the present gradually merge, turning Virgil’s final hours into a journey deep into his own consciousness. On the threshold between life and death, the poet tries to understand what remains of a person and of their work in the face of eternity.
