English summary: The volume reinterprets Dante's Ante-Purgatory, exploring aspects that 'exceed' and sometimes contradict the ethical rigor embodied by the stoic hero standing guard at its entrance: Cato the Younger. This interpretation restores Purgatory's profound relational dimension and reveals in the second canto a path to salvation based on relationships and spiritual cooperation, which implies overcoming the opposition between human and divine, freedom and grace, justice and mercy. Italian description: Il volume rilegge l'Antipurgatorio dantesco, esplorandone gli aspetti che 'eccedono' e talvolta contraddicono il rigorismo etico incarnato dall'eroe stoico che ne custodisce la soglia: Catone l'Uticense. Questa lettura restituisce al Purgatorio la sua profonda dimensione relazionale e consente di riconoscere nella seconda cantica un percorso di salvezza fondato sulla relazione e sulla cooperazione spirituale, che implica un superamento della contrapposizione fra umano e divino, liberta e grazia, giustizia e misericordia.
