ABOUT DANTE ALIGHIERI

Dante Alighieri, one of the most significant figures in Italian literature and indeed in world literature, was born in Florence, Italy, in the late spring of 1265. His exact birth date is not known, but it is traditionally believed to be around the end of May. He was born into a family of minor nobility, the son of Alighiero di Bellincione and Bella, making him Dante Alighieri. Little is known about his early life, but it is assumed that he received an education typical of a young man of his social class, studying literature, philosophy, and theology.
