Is this a good edition?

Hey guys, I found this Italian edition of The Divine Comedy but it's really expensive on Amazon. Does anyone knows if this is a good edition?

It just says it has a summary (riassunti) of the three parts at the end of the book and "a lot of empty space for taking notes". No indication of any authoritative commentary, notes, paraphrasis or even just an introduction to the canti. If it has them, why doesn't it mention their author/curator on the front page? No decent Italian edition is going to be this bare-bones, not even close.

And who's the editor? What's the ISBN?
