DESCRIPTION:
Excerpt: le coprissero la testa con un bianco velo: e pareami che la sua faccia avesse tanto aspetto d' umiltade, che parea che dicesse: 11 Io sono a vedere lo Principio della pace." In questa immaginazione mi giunse tanta umiltade per veder lei, che io chiamava là Morte, e dicea: "Dolcissima Morte, vieni a me, e non m'esser villana; perocchè tu dèi esser gentile, in tal parte se' stata!

Dante Alighieri was born in 1265 in Florence to a family of minor nobility. Taking asylum in Ravenna late in life, Dante completed his Divine Commedia, considered one of the most important works of Western literature, before his death in 1321. He entered into Florentine politics in 1295, but he and his party were forced into exile in a hostile political
