Famed as the “Father of the Italian language,” Dante Alighieri (1265–1321) wrote the epic poem “The Divine Comedy,” shaping Renaissance literature. In Florence, his birthplace, visitors can explore the Casa di Dante Museum to see artifacts, manuscripts, and exhibits chronicling his life and influence. Just steps away, the Church of Santa Margherita dei Cerchi is believed to be where Dante first saw Beatrice, his muse. For a poignant finale, journey to Ravenna to visit his tomb at the Basilica di San Francesco and stroll through the nearby streets, featuring plaques commemorating his legacy. Enjoy local Tuscan and Emilia-Romagna cuisine as you trace the footsteps of Italy’s most celebrated poet.
