Who is the author of this poem (divine comedy)?

Battleship Dante AliGneki Cheri (1265- 132 1), an Italian poet, was praised by Engels as "the last poet in the Middle Ages and the first poet in the new era". Dante wrote many works in his life, among which the most valuable is undoubtedly The Divine Comedy. Through the dialogue between the author and various famous figures in hell, purgatory and heaven, this work reflects the achievements and some major problems in the field of medieval culture, and has the nature of "encyclopedia", from which we can also glimpse the dawn of humanistic thought in the Renaissance. In this epic with more than 14,000 lines, Dante resolutely opposed obscurantism in the Middle Ages, expressed his persistent pursuit of truth, and had a far-reaching impact on the poetry creation of later generations in Europe.
