I read the Inferno a couple years ago while I was studying in Florence, Italy. It is one of my favorite literary works from my undergraduate career (I was an English major) because of the incredible attention to detail in terms of historical metaphors and references. It is helpful to do some research on Dante and his life to get a better understanding of his character "the pilgrim" and the role of Beatrice (his muse). Let me know if I can help answer any questions!
