Divine Comedy

Dante Alighieri

The Divine Comedy, known in Italian as the Divina Commedia, is a monumental epic poem crafted by Dante Alighieri in the early 14th century during his exile from Florence. This masterpiece is not only hailed as the pinnacle of Italian literature but also holds immense sway over the fabric of Western literature and culture.
