Dante Dante
Born in Florence in 1265, Dante was banished from his native city in 1302 and died in Ravenna in 1321. He set the Divine Comedy in the year 1300, when he was thirty-five years old and “in the middle of our mortal life.” This setting allowed him to utilize the past symbolically, exploit the present politically, and anticipate the future in simulated prophecy.
