The Divine Comedy represents a vision of the afterlife of the medieval world-view as it had developed in the Western Church by the 14th century. The narrative describes Dante's travels through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise, while allegorically the poem represents the soul's journey towards God. The poem is widely considered to be the pre-eminent work in Italian literature and one of the greatest works of world literature.

He is best known for his monumental work, The Divine Comedy, originally titled Comed a and later called Divina by Giovanni Boccaccio.

Dante married Gemma Di Manetto Donati in 1285, and they remained married until his death in 1321. He passed away in Ravenna at the age of 56. Dante's work not only revolutionized Italian literature but also had a profound impact on European literature as a whole, shaping the course of literary history for centuries to come. His works have inspired countless scholars, poets, and thinkers, with his exploration of the afterlife, human virtue, and divine justice continuing to resonate today.
