This majestic work contains significant references to the existence of mechanical clocks in Tuscany at that time, confirming that Italy is certainly a country with ancient watchmaking traditions. It is still difficult today to establish exactly when the first timepiece saw the light of day, but in the Divine Comedy, gears, wheels, and spheres are mentioned for the first time. In Canto XXIV of Paradise, Dante compares the dance of the souls of the blessed to the movement of the gears of a mechanical clock. The blessed, he writes, revolve at different speeds, like the hands of a clock, one of which seems to be standing still and the other is much slower: those souls showed their degree of joy according to the speed or slowness of their movement.
