Dante Alighieri (actually Durante degli Alighieri, * in May or June 1265 in Florence; † 14 September 1321 in Ravenna) was an Italian philosopher and poet and creator of the "Divine Comedy".

Dante Alighieri is Italy's most famous poet and one of the most important poets of the European Middle Ages. He lived in the late Middle Ages, which in Italy already marked the transition to the Renaissance, although Dante's world view was still strongly rooted in the Middle Ages (see his work Monarchia).

Dante is considered the "father" of today's "High" Italian language, which he decisively shaped. His influence on European literature should also be seen in this context.
