The
Canto Inferno or "Hell" is the first part of Dante
Alighieri's 14th-century epic poem Divine Comedy. It is followed by Purgatorio
and Paradiso. It is an allegory telling of the journey of Dante through Hell,
guided by the Roman poet Virgil. In the poem, Hell is depicted as nine circles
of suffering located within the Earth.
