Dante Alighieri

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dante Alighieri (May/June 1265 - September 13/14, 1321) was an Italian poet. His most famous work is La Divina Commedia (The Divine Comedy). The most famous section in La Divina Commedia is the first third of it, the first 34 cantos of the poem, called Inferno, which is Dante's vision of hell. Much of what he wrote about hell is believed by many people today. Yet he wasn't religious, and it was only a poem.
