Dante Alighieri spent the last years of his life in Ravenna, exiled from Florence. I synopsized the circumstances of his exile and showed his monument in Florence’s Santa Croce church on February 5.

Dante rests in this tomb in Ravenna. The oil for the eternal flame that burns at his grave is supplied by the city of Florence.
