Dante Alighieri (May/June 1265 - September 13/14, 1321) was an Italian poet. His most famous work is La Divina Comedia (The Divine Comedy). The most famous section in La Davina Comedia 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, even though he was not a religious teacher, and it was just a poem.
