Robert Pinskky has a great new translation of the Inferno (I know you want
Paradiso) out two years now, and in Italian departments people still consider
the Mandelbaum translation, done in the 80s, to be the best thing since sliced
bread.
I still think Rolphe Humphries translation of Metamorphoses, done in the
fifties, is as good as any more recent version.
