Detailed explanation-1: -Dante died in Ravenna on 14 September 1321, aged about 56, of quartan malaria contracted while returning from a diplomatic mission to the Republic of Venice. He was attended by his three children, and possibly by Gemma Donati, and by friends and admirers he had in the city.
Detailed explanation-2: -The work was written and published in sections between 1308 and 1321. Although Dante called the work simply Comedy, the work became enormously popular, and a deluxe version published in 1555 in Venice bore the title The Divine Comedy. Dante died of malaria in Ravenna in 1321.
Detailed explanation-3: -Shortly after the Magic Knights leave, Dante regains consciousness, but his Body Magic is out of control, warping and twisting his body.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the final canto of the Inferno, Dante and Virgil leave Lucifer imprisoned in ice at the bottom of Hell and climb down his legs to come out the other side of Hell, on the opposite side of the world. It is night, so Dante and Virgil are able to “see, once more, the stars.” Inferno thus concludes on a note of hope.
Detailed explanation-5: -Dante spent the last 19 years of his life in exile, dying in Ravenna in 1321. The Ravenna monks who guard Dante’s ashes have refused several pleas from Florence to return the poet’s remains. Dante’s tomb in the northeastern Italian city is a big tourist draw, rivalling the lure of its Byzantine mosaics.
