Biography Dante Alighieri Born May,1265 in Florence, Italy Family from the merchant class Received early education in Florence Attended the University of Bologna Experiences included a tour in the Florentine Army when he fought in the Battle of Campaldino.
Dante’s birth in 1265 came at a time when the Guelf party was in control of Florence. Dante turned away from his Guelf heritage to embrace the imperial philosophy of the Ghibellines. His change in politics is best summed up in his treatise De Monarchia in which Dante states his belief in the separation of church and state. The Ghibellines, however, were pushed from power by the Guelfs during Dante’s adulthood and confined to northern Tuscany.
