Dante lived in a time of great and tumultuous change in his native Florence and in the Italian peninsula as a whole.  There was no unified Italy to speak of in the 13th-14th century.  Indeed, when Dante speaks of Italy in the Divine Comedy, he speaks of an ideal that would not be realized until the eventual unification of the country’s various regions in 1861.
