The greatness of Dante is not even scratched by that conviction.
He was a politician, he knew how hard politics can hit people, as seen during the Pazzi conspiracy events (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pazzi_conspiracy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pazzi_conspiracy).
He knew, nonetheless he went on with his political beliefs.
So I think that all those actions are just a form of marketing. They will succeed.
None would keep on saying Dante was really a corruption man, provided that anyone ever did after 14th century.
None will ease his struggling once banished away from his beloved Florence.
None can scrap messer Durante de li Alighieri greatness, as he, himslef, "built a(nother) monument lasting longer than any bronze will".
This year Florence is going to celebrate Dante, as well as Ravenna. It's 7 centuries that Florence is claiming back Dante's remains. But nothing has been done against that conviction. Nothing in 700 years.
Let Dante rest in peace and bring back his masterpieces of literature and politics back in schools. The world will be a little better.
