Dante Alighieri

Dante's figure is shrouded in an aura of mysticism, and his Divine Comedy continues to captivate. Modern writers, filmmakers, and even computer game developers are particularly inspired by the theme of hell. This is unsurprising: the great poet hid his enemies there, describing the true circumstances of their deaths. Describing... or perhaps presaging, or even creating? After all, no one knows when the drafts of the Comedy were written. However, documents from a 14th-century trial have survived, in which the accused claimed to have engaged the services of Italy's greatest magician, Magister Alighieri. Dante had connections with the mysterious and sinister Knights Templar. And the people of Verona allegedly clearly saw traces of hellfire on the poet's face. But this is only one side of the genius's personality. The other is filled with the light of an unearthly feeling for Beatrice, a childhood friend who died early. This love leads the poet from the darkness of the underworld, through the hardships of purgatory to the heavenly abode of paradise.
