At the base is “Ante-Purgatory,” where souls arrive by boat and meet figures like Cato and Casella. Above it is the “Gate of Purgatory.” The mountain is divided into seven terraces, each labeled with one of the seven deadly sins: First Terrace (Pride) with Guido del Duca, Second Terrace (Envy) with Marco Lombardo, Third Terrace (Anger), Fourth Terrace (Sloth) with Statius, Fifth Terrace (Avarice) with Hugh Capet and Pope Adrian V, Sixth Terrace (Gluttony) with Forese Donati, and Seventh Terrace (Lust) with Guido Guinizelli, Arnaut Daniel, and others. At the summit is the “Earthly Paradise,” where Beatrice is depicted.
