Detailed explanation-1: -Dante was buried by the church of San Pier Maggiore (now the Basilica di San Francesco) with all the pomp that Ravenna could muster. After a funeral attended by the city’s great and good, his body went into a Roman marble sarcophagus that was laid to rest outside the church’s cloisters.
Detailed explanation-2: -Casa Scarabigoli. Now, we are in front of Dante’s Tomb, in the heart of Zona del Silenzio (Area of Silence). Here you will find the old home of the family Scarabigoli (contemporary to the Da Polentas). It had presumably been the house of the Supreme Poet during his stay in Ravenna.
Detailed explanation-3: -Italian poet Dante Alighieri is entombed in this small mausoleum in Ravenna, and his hometown of Florence has never been too happy about it.
