Dante Alighieri, Medieval Italian literature scholar in Florence, Italy
Dante Alighieri wrote The Divine Comedy in three parts - Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso - describing a journey through afterlife realms.
After his exile from Florence in 1302 due to political conflicts, Dante traveled across Italy, completing his major works before settling in Ravenna.
His decision to write in Tuscan dialect instead of Latin established the foundation for modern Italian language and influenced literature development.
The Divine Comedy contains 100 cantos divided equally among three sections, following a specific rhyme pattern called terza rima.
Dante's unrequited love for Beatrice Portinari, whom he met at age nine, inspired many of his poems and shaped his literary expressions.
