Detailed explanation-1: -Accused of corruption and financial wrongdoing, Dante was first exiled from Florence for two years in 1302 after he refused to pay a fine.
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: -Florence eventually came to regret having exiled Dante. The city made repeated requests for the return of his remains. The custodians of the body in Ravenna refused, at one point going so far as to conceal the bones in a false wall of the monastery.
Detailed explanation-4: -’ 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.
