Dante Alighieri

Died in 1321

Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), born in Florence in the spring of 1265 into a Guelph family, took part in the life of the commune and was elected prior of the city in 1300. Sentenced in 1302, by two successive judgments, first to a fine and then to perpetual exile on pain of death, he never returned to Florence. He lived with the Scaligers in Verona, with the Malaspina in Lunigiana, then, from 1318, in Ravenna, with Guido Novello da Polenta. He died in Ravenna in September 1321.
