Dante

 He is Dante Alighieri  ,  he  was born in Florence  in 1265 and he comes  from a Guelfi  family (guelfi are the supporters of the pope).

Dante lived in medieval  Tuscany  where the stilnovo , a very important school of poetry,  was born and where  he knew friends such as Guido Cavalcanti and  Lapo Gianni .

He studied in the most important Florentine schools.

During Dante’s  youth , he  met a beautiful girl named Beatrice , and  he  fell in love with her so much so that after his death he  had a moment of crisis.

During his  life he  has  written several works  , such as Vita nova ,   De vulgari Eloquentia   ,   Convivio ,De Monarchia , The Rime and The Divine Comedy. I died in Ravenna in 1321.

The Divine Comedy is Dante’s  best work , this  is a  poem which tell  about a story of a journey that he   makes unearthly worlds to regain faith and peace lost in his  life. It is divided in three part :  Hell  , Purgatory and Paradise.

The hell  is a bottomless pit where the angel of evil “LUCIFERO” is stucked.  He explain to Virgilio and me that he was there for a discussion with the God of the whole universe.

The Purgatory  is where who committed sins during his/ her life , has the chance to purify and ascend to heaven.

The Paradise is where Dante met God.
