Paradiso – Canto XVI – vv 115 – 117<\/p>\n

“L’OLTRACOTATA SCHIATTA CHE S’INDRACA
\nDIETRO A CHI FVGGE, ED A CHI MOSTRA IL DENTE
\nO VER LA BORSA, COM’AGNEL, SI PLACA.”<\/p>\n

“The arrogant lineage (the Adimari) that rages and becomes as fierce as a dragon when pursuing those who flee, but becomes as quiet as a lamb before anyone who shows their teeth (force) or, alternatively, shows their purse (money).”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“This refers almost certainly to the Adimari family, notorious for their pride and for being among Dante\u2019s political enemies who contributed to his exile. The term <\/span>‘oltra cotata’<\/i> specifically means ‘excessively presumptuous’ or ‘arrogant.’<\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • \n

    The Dragon:<\/b> The lineage becomes a ‘dragon’ (a symbol of ferocity and cruelty) only when chasing those who run away\u2014meaning those who are weaker or unable to defend themselves. It is a portrait of cowardice masked as aggression.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    The Lamb:<\/b> The final critique is devastating and reveals their opportunistic nature. They immediately calm down like a ‘lamb’ (a symbol of docility) when they encounter an opponent who shows strength or a threatening attitude (‘shows their teeth’). Alternatively, they allow themselves to be bribed and appeased with money (‘shows their purse’).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In short, the Adimari family is accused of being arrogant toward the weak while remaining submissive and venal toward the strong or those who can corrupt them.”<\/p>\n
