Detailed explanation-1: -To Dante, the meaning of true love in La Vita Nuova is God. On the surface, the Love Dante feels for Beatrice seems like it could be romantic or courtly love because they are defined as being an intense feeling of deep connection.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the Vita Nuova, Dante told the story of his admiration for a Florentine woman named Beatrice. When seeing her for the first time at the age of nine, Dante fell in love, and he remained in love for the rest of his life. Years later, Beatrice died at the young age of twenty-four and Dante fell into a deep sadness.
Detailed explanation-3: -Today, we know that Dante’s love for Beatrice was real. She represented the ideal of beauty and grace, but was also a real woman. Beatrice appeared to Dante as the woman/angel that guides him through Paradise, but also remained a real woman who made his heart beat in the streets of Florence.
Detailed explanation-4: -“Beatrice looks up to God, and her eyes mirror Heaven. Dante looks into that mirror and finds himself gradually carried up above.” Another fascinating reference to Beatrice’s eyes comes in Canto 22 of the Paradiso. At this point in his pilgrimage, Dante is much closer to final blessedness and his vision is clearer.
Detailed explanation-5: -On the one hand, love is related to Dante’s idea of God, and to the way in which human beings ought, for Dante, to relate to each other in order to merit salvation. On the other hand, love is also seen as a desire for things or people in the world.
