'''[[Dante Alighieri]]''', widely known mononymously as '''Dante''', was an Italian poet, writer, and philosopher. His ''Divine Comedy'' (commonly called ''The Inferno'' in English) is widely considered one of the most important poems of the Middle Ages and the greatest literary work in the Italian language. Dante is known for establishing the use of the vernacular in literature at a time when most poetry was written in Latin, which was accessible only to educated readers. His depictions of [[Hell]], [[Purgatory]], and [[Heaven]] provided inspiration for the larger body of Western art and literature. He influenced English writers such as Geoffrey Chaucer, John Milton, and Alfred Tennyson, among many others.
