Commentary Inf X 32

Farinata, who did not believe in Christ's resurrection, here replays it, as it were, rising from his tomb, at this instant making his punishment clearly fit his crime. See Conv.II.viii.8 for Dante's own outcry against such failure of belief: 'Dico che intra tutte le bestialitadi quello è stoltissima, vilissima e dannosissima, chi crede dopo questa vita non essere altra vita' (I say that of all the follies the most foolish, the basest, and the most pernicious is the belief that beyond this life there is no other [tr. Lansing]).
