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".

In what languages did Dante Alighieri and Geoffrey Chaucer write?

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. :)
