Biographical Information
Dante, the author and protagonist of The Divine Comedy, was born in Italy in 1265. He is best known for the comedy, but has written other literature, such as Convivio and Monarchia. Dante loved a woman named Beatrice, but never had a formal relationship with her. She was the subject of many of his works, including The Divine Comedy. He instead had an arranged marriage with Gemma di Manetto Donati, and fathered three children with her; Pietro, Iacopo and Antonia. Dante died in 1321, possibly because of malaria.
