'''Dante Alighieri''' (1265-1321) was an early [[The Renaissance|Renaissance]] poet, born to a prominent family in [[Florence]]. The Italian town of Florence was considered the cradle of the Renaissance by 1425, but [[Venice]] and [[Rome]] became just as successful by the early 1500s.
Dante wrote in the Italian language of the time (the vernacular) rather than ancient [[Latin]]. Dante described the path of a soul to salvation in "[[The Divine Comedy]]," in which Dante travels through [[Hell]] (Inferno), [[Purgatory]] (Purgatorio), and [[Paradise]] (Paradiso). In this journey, Dante is first guided by the Roman epic poet [[Virgil]], and then he is later guided by girl he loved as a youth, named Beatrice, who had tragically died.
