* CommonTongue: The ''Commedia'' and the ''Literature/VitaNuova'' are some of the first major works in Italian, rather than Latin familiar to the learned.

* TakeThat: Dante was quite fond of calling out anyone he didn't like. In ''Literature/VitaNuova'' he calls out "ungifted poets" who gained fame simply for being the first to write poetry in the vernacular and mentions that a number of such poets rank among his peers. ''Literature/TheDivineComedy'' famously sees him depicting a number of real life rivals and people he dislikes suffering horrible tortures in the depths of Hell, along with some moments where he compares his own poetry favorably to other poets who depicted similar scenes.

* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager''. Captain Janeway is a fan of Dante, and is shown reading both ''Literature/VitaNuova'' and ''Literature/TheDivineComedy'' during the course of the series. "Latent Image" ends with the Doctor, [[RayOfHopeEnding starting to make peace with his breakdown]] by reading from Janeway's copy of ''Vita Nuova''.

** ''Literature/VitaNuova'' – Dante's first book of poetry, an ordered set of poems and (slightly pedantic) prose detailing his love for Beatrice. The leading figure in a group of Florentine poets in writing in the 'sweet new style' (''dolce stil novo'', a term coined by Dante years later in ''Purgatorio'' XXIV), Dante was famous for these poems while he was still a young man. Key in the development and codification of CourtlyLove.
