Dante’s Tomb in Ravenna.
Dante Alighieri, one of the greatest minds who ever lived, was banished from his native Florence and never saw it again. He died in exile in Ravenna in A.D. 1321 and was buried here, where his remains still rest today.
The beautiful and bittersweet epitaph on his resting place reminds us of his earthly fate:
Hic claudor Dantes patriis extorris ab oris
quem genuit parvi Florentia mater amoris.
“Here I, Dante, lie enclosed, exiled from my native land, whom Florence, a mother of little love, bore.”
