Why study Dante in
Florence?
As you read Dante’s poem,
we’ll visit the sites he
describes. We’ll study the art
that influenced him, the
classical figures in his poem,
and the architecture in
Florence and nearby cities,
such as Siena and
Monteriggioni, that shaped
Inferno. Inferno is also a
political poem in which he
denounces Florence’s
enemies, such as Pisa and the
Florentine government that
exiled him.
