Autorenporträt
Dante Alighieri, geb. 1265 in Florenz, gest. 1321 in Ravenna, sah mit neun Jahren erstmals Beatrice, die er später in seinem Werk verklärt. Sein Engagement im Kampf um die Unabhängigkeit von Florenz führte 1302 zu einem Gerichtsprozess und schließlich zu lebenslänglicher Verbannung. Dante, der seitdem als vogelfrei galt, hielt sich danach vor allem in Verona auf und reiste von dort aus in viele oberitalienische Städte und Landschaften. Ab etwa 1316 ließ Dante sich in Ravenna nieder, znächst am Hofe des Cangrande della Scala, später als fürstlicher Sekretär und Lehrer für Poetik und Rhetorik.
