Definition: It's a term from Dante's "Divine Comedy" that refers to an illiterate person or one with no education, who lacks practical skills but can speak the language. In the novel, this character is described as being "so very illiterate that he could not even read," which suggests that he lacks basic literacy and may lack some form of skill. The term "Infantino" may also imply that he is in a state of extreme poverty or misery, and may be unable to provide for himself or others. The word itself has multiple meanings depending on the context. For example, it can mean someone who is illiterate, but who still speaks fluently or understands basic phrases. It can also refer to someone who lacks education or skills, such as a person who cannot read or write. In this sense, "Infantino" could be used in a more general way to describe anyone without formal training or education.
