Dante Alighieri is the author of "The Divine Comedy," an epic poem written in the early 14th century. He chose to write in Italian rather than Latin, making his work more accessible to the people of his time. The poem explores the journey of the soul through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, reflecting on moral themes and critiques of contemporary society.
