The Death of Dante Alighieri

WC

Transcript

Theory 2

  • Our second theory is that Dante died of malaria. Malaria is spread through mosquitoes, which live near water, and Venice is full of canals. In addition, back then, cities were not as sanitary, allowing him to catch it easier.

Dante Alighieri

  • Dante was born in Florence, Italy in 1265
  • Dante was exiled from Florence in 1302
  • Dante is a poet most famous for writing "The Divine Comedy"
  • Dante died of an illness in 1321 after returning from a trip to Venice, Italy.

Theory 1

  • Dante was Ambassador to Venice for Ravenna, Italy. He had many enemies from Florence, known as the Black Guelfs, so it is possible he was poisoned. In Venice, he began suffering symptoms such as fever, sickness in the stomach, and nausea. Dante was rushed to Ravenna, where he died.

Conclusion

In conclusion, we have decided that Theory 2 is the more likely cause of death. It is unlikely for the Black Guelfs to send anyone, as, at the time of his death, Dante had been exiled for 20 years. In addition, the poison, if he was poisoned, would have killed him soon after, not weeks. Finally, fever is a symptom of malaria, which is known Dante had.
