He was the son of Bellincione Alighieri and Bela di Abati and grew up in Florence. He was well-educated in poetry, painting, music, and more. Like many other Florentines during this time, he was part of the Guelph-Ghibelline conflict. This conflict was between the Holy Roman Emperor and the papacy. In 1289, Dante fought in the battle of Campaldino on the side of the Guelphs. ]]> 2023-09-19 01:55:03 UTC https://padlet.com/24_efiorentinos002/6c7uhaurrsey5lw8/wish/2709859270 24_efiorentinos002 https://padlet.com/24_efiorentinos002/6c7uhaurrsey5lw8/wish/2709859698

"The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis." Excerpt from Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy Inferno– Canto III

"Mankind is at its best when it is most free. This will be clear if we grasp the principle of liberty. We must recall that the basic principle is freedom of choice, which saying many have on their lips but few in their minds." From letters he wrote.

"Within that Light, a person is so changed / It is impossible to give consent / Ever to turn from it to other sights / Because the Good, the object of the will, / Is gathered all in it, and outside of the Light /What there is perfect is flawed [outside of the Light]." Excerpt from Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy Paradiso – Canto XXXIII: The Final Vision

He was a municipal officer and was elected to the position of prior of the city. He wished to see his city free from papal interference, which led to his exile in 1302. He was charged with corruption. He never returned back to Florence. It was during this time that he wrote his renowned work, the Divine Comedy. He died of malaria on September 13, 1321.
