Detailed explanation-1: -La Vita Nuova (pronounced [la ˈviːta ˈnwɔːva]; Italian for “The New Life") or Vita Nova (Latin title) is a text by Dante Alighieri published in 1294. It is an expression of the medieval genre of courtly love in a prosimetrum style, a combination of both prose and verse.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Vita Nuova of Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) is many things. It is a story of desire: a passionate account (perhaps true, perhaps invented) of Dante’s love of Beatrice, from their first chance encounter when the poet was nine and she was eight, to her death sixteen years later.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hands down, the best version of this text you can currently grab on the market is from the Oxford World Classic’s series. Translated by Mark Musa who’s focus at Indiana University is ancient Italian literature, Vita Nuova shines in this copy.
Detailed explanation-4: -The main theme of The Divine Comedy is the spiritual journey of man through life. In this journey he learns about the nature of sin and its consequences. And comes to abhor it (sin) after understanding its nature and how it corrupts the soul and draws man away from God.
