His greatest achievement was writing A Divine Comedy
He wanted to name his enemies so the truth would be told about them even if he could not say it himself.

Durante Dante Alighieri also know as Dante was an Italian poet that lived from 1265 to 1321. His best known literary work was the Divine Comedy. This work is considered one of the greatest literary work of world literature.
Dante Alighieri's masterpiece was his epic work, 'The Divine Comedy'. That was a very educational book/poetry thingy and it was very cool and freakishly awesome!!!! :)
Chaucer wrote in English, and Dante wrote in Italian, although both were working with older versions than we have now. Chaucer was writing in what they call "Middle English," which is often hard for modern speakers to understand. Dante's Divine Comedy was written in the Tuscan dialect, which was significant at the time because most people were writing poetry in Latin, and writing in other, "lesser" languages was considered uncool. :)
Dante wrote the bulk of his work when he was exiled from Florence in Northern and Central Italy including Rome, Verona, Sarzana in Liguria, and Lucca where he lived.

other writers wrote Latin while Dante wrote Italian and people admired him for that
Dante Alighieri was famous for writing the book, "Dante's Inferno". An inferno is a huge, hot fire. The book describes what Dante thought Hell would be like. Today when someone describes Hell, the descriptions and images mostly come straight from "Dante's Inferno".
There is much evidence of the Roman poet Horace as an influence in Dante's writing.
Yes: What Dreams May Come (1998) with Robin Williams.
It shows the Paradise (Heaven) and the Inferno (Hell). It's based on Dante's Divine Comedy. You can see that for example in the fact that a person that commits suicide goes to Hell and "can't be saved"... I can't remember if they show the Purgatory though, but it's still based on that idea.
