Image description: The Divine Comedy (Italian: Divina Commedia) is an epic poem written by Dante Alighieri between 1308 and his death in 1321. It is divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. Iacopo Rusticucci was a 13th-century Florentine politician. Rusticucci was a Guelph in the factional politics of his day. From humble beginnings in a family of Florence's minor nobility, he achieved great wealth, and prominence as a politician and diplomat.In the mid-1250s Rusticucci was active as a diplomat at a time when Florence exerted its power over the neighboring cities of Pistoia, Siena, and Pisa. Rusticucci also served as capitano del popolo of Arezzo in 1258.
