Dante Alighieri II Sticker

In Italy, he is called "the supreme poet" and is considered the Italian language's father. Dante (1265 – 1321) was the first to compose verses in the tongue of ordinary folks, extensively using words from his Tuscan dialect. He lived in a turbulent time and ended his life in exile. After seven centuries, Dante's name shines much brighter than those he had to fear. His most famous work is Divine Comedy.
