EARLY YEARS
Dante Alighieri was born in 1265 to a family with a history of involvement in the complex Florentine political scene, and this setting would become a feature in his Inferno years later. Dante’s mother died only a few years after his birth. Around 1284-85 Dante met Beatrice when she was 9 years old, and he had apparently experienced love in first sight. But 5 years, in 1290, Beatrice died unexpectedly and 5 years later Dante published Vita Nuova (The New Life), which details his tragic love for Beatrice.

DANTE'S EXILE
In his exile, Dante traveled and wrote, conceiving The Divine Comedy, and he withdrew from all political activities. In 1304, he seems to have gone to Bologna, where he began his Latin treatise "De Vulgari Eloquentia" (“The Eloquent Vernacular”). In March 1306, Florentine exiles were expelled from Bologna, and by August, Dante ended up in Padua, but from this point, Dante’s whereabouts are not known for sure for a few years.

FINALE: THE DIVINE COMEDY
The Divine Comedy is an allegory of human life presented as a visionary trip through the Christian afterlife. The poem is written in the first person and follows Dante's journey through the three Christian realms of the dead: Hell, Purgatory and finally Heaven. The Roman poet Virgil guides Dante through Hell and Purgatory , while Beatrice guides him through Heaven.
