May 15, 2008 - Dante’s Inferno, 1906, San Francisco is the story of a vulnerable, guilt-ridden fireman, Dante Zuchelli, who is driven to suicidal acts of bravery to save a newfound love, the city and face the deepest recesses of a tormented soul.
Dante’s Inferno, 1906, San Francisco is a 300 M.P.H. trolley car ride careening through Shangri-La and Sodom and Gomorra as it shakes and sears beyond recognition.
