Detailed explanation-1: -’ The poet Giovanni Boccaccio says Dante visited Paris while in exile and Gladstone believed he studied in Oxford, but it is unlikely that he ever left Italy. He lived for periods in Arezzo, Bologna and Verona and his last few years were spent in Ravenna, where he died in September 1321.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dante’s political activities, including the banishing of several rivals, led to his own banishment, and he wrote his masterpiece, The Divine Comedy, as a virtual wanderer, seeking protection for his family in town after town.
Detailed explanation-3: -Somehow Dante believes that his exile can make his own story more tragic and therefore heroic, like that of a Greek hero. Dante’s exile gives him a wider perspective of mankind in general. He is able to meet a broader range of characters during his exile, rather than just the people of his class in Florence.
