While it's true that Puccini's Gianni Schicchi was indeed based on a minor scene from Inferno, Zandonai's Francesca da Rimini is actually based on the real history of Francesca and her love affair with Poulo, and not her mention in the Divine Comedy.

.

There is a modern contemporary Opera based entirely on Dante's Inferno, by Patrick Soluri, performed as an opera only once (that I am aware of), in March of 1999. Reference: http://www.soluri.com/music/inferno_works.htm

It is quite odd that nobody in antiquity wrote any larger works based on this epic poem, because it seems so ripe for a treatment. Perhaps the notion of hell was too much for baroque sensibilities.
