About Me

My Name is Dante Aligheri, I was born in Florence Italy on May 14 1265. My parents were middle class people my mother died when I was five and my father remarried. I was involved in an arranged marriage to Gabrilla ABati..when we both got older we were married and we had 3 children. As I continued my life in Florence, I decided to goto Medical school and involve myslef with Politics(the Black Guelphs)which appossed the Catholic Church and Pope Boniface the VIII,for this act I was Banished from Florence. While I was in Exhile I wrote 3 books that defined my Literary Career, THE INFERNO, PARADISO, PURGATORIO, all which are true accounts.All these books were written late in my life, but were widely praised. I was informed when I was 75 that I would had been able to return to Florence but not with all my glory so I declined and lived out my final days traveling in different courts with my family. Before My death I was informed that the City of Florence officially used the Language of the Inferno and adopted it to become their offical dialect.I was proud and very happy. table table table td {vertical-align:top ! important;}span.blacktext12 {visibility:visible !important;background-color:transparent;background-image:url ( http://img7.pimp-my-profile.com/i98/8/4/15/bn_3d441b4c34.png );background-repeat:no-repeat;background-position:center center;font-size:0px; letter-spacing:-0.5px;width:437px; height:75px; display:block !important; }span.blacktext12 img {display:none;}

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I would love to have been able to met Aristotle and the writer known as Shakespere. Aristotle has pagan beliefs but he had a great literary mind. Willam Shakespere, what an interesting man, he understood true allegory and human nature he would of been very influential when I was Writting the Divine comedy.
