A richly detailed graveyard history of the Florentine poet whose dead body shaped Italy from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to the Risorgimento, World War I, and Mussolini’s fascist dictatorship. Dante, whose Divine Comedy gave the world its most vividly imagined story of the afterlife, endured an extraordinary afterlife of his own. Exiled in death as in life, the Florentine poet has hardly rested in peace over the centuries. Like a saint’s relics, his bones have been stolen, recovered, reburied, exhumed, examined, and, above all, worshiped. Actors in this graveyard history range from Lorenzo de’ Medici, Michelangelo, and Pope Leo X to the Franciscan friar who hid the bones, the stone mason who accidentally discovered them, and the opportunistic sculptor who accomplished what princes, popes, and politicians could not: delivering to Florence a precious relic of the native son it had banished. In Dante’s Bones, Guy Raffa narrates for the first time the complete course of the poet’s hereafter, from his death and burial in Ravenna in 1321 to a computer-generated reconstruction of his face in 2006. Dante’s posthumous adventures are inextricably tied to major historical events in Italy and its relationship to the wider world. Dante grew in stature as the contested portion of his body diminished in size from skeleton to bones, fragments, and finally dust: During the Renaissance, a political and literary hero in Florence; in the nineteenth century, the ancestral father and prophet of Italy; a nationalist symbol under fascism and amid two world wars; and finally the global icon we know today.

Dante Alighieri's epic poem, later given the title Divine Comedy by Giovanni Boccaccio, is widely considered one of the most significant literary works of the Middle Ages and the crowning achievement of medieval Italian literature. Originally titled simply Comedy, this allegorical tale of Dante's imagined journey through the afterlife has had an enduring impact on Western culture. By deciding to compose his masterpiece not in scholarly Latin but rather in the Tuscan vernacular, Dante boldly asserted the artistic potential of the common Italian language. At a time when most serious writings were still produced in Latin, accessible only to the highly educated elite, Dante pioneered the use of the vernacular for a major work of literature. This choice allowed him to reach a much wider audience and helped pave the way for the development of a standardized national language. In addition to the Divine Comedy, Dante produced other innovative works in Tuscan such as Vita Nuova and De Vulgari Eloquentia, a treatise defending the literary use of vernacular languages. He would inspire later titans of Italian literature like Petrarch and Boccaccio to follow his example and produce their own trailblazing works in the vernacular.
