Chaucer wrote in English, and Dante wrote in Italian, although both were working with older versions than we have now. Chaucer was writing in what they call "Middle English," which is often hard for modern speakers to understand. Dante's Divine Comedy was written in the Tuscan dialect, which was significant at the time because most people were writing poetry in Latin, and writing in other, "lesser" languages was considered uncool. :)
Dante Alighieri wrote in Italian, most notably in his famous work "The Divine Comedy." Geoffrey Chaucer wrote in Middle English, including his renowned work "The Canterbury Tales."
