The Commedia by Dante Alighieri, later called Divina Commedia - the Divine Comedy - by Giovanni Boccaccio, has had a lasting influence on European literature like hardly any other work. After his banishment from Florence in 1302, Dante had settled in Ravenna, where he probably began work on the Divina Commedia, written in the Italian popular language, in 1307 and only completed it shortly before his death in 1321.
