Detailed explanation-1: -Early life and the Vita nuova. Most of what is known about Dante’s life he has told himself. He was born in Florence in 1265 under the sign of Gemini (between May 21 and June 20) and remained devoted to his native city all his life.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Casa di Dante (Dante’s house) is a museum inside a XX century building in the heart of the Medieval Florence. You may think this is the place where the Poet lived, but the truth is different. Dante probably lived in Via Dante Alighieri, in a building in front of Piazza San Martino.
Detailed explanation-3: -There’s nowhere better to explore all things Dante than Florence, where he was born in 1265, lived (until his exile in 1302), and which features prominently in his much-loved masterpiece, the Divine Comedy.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Dante Alighieri and Florence are deeply linked. Besides being the city where he was born, Florence is also the theatre of his education and literary work. Dante Alighieri was born in March (or perhaps June) 1265 in Florence.
