Dante Alighieri's major poetic work was La Divina Comedia (or the Divine Comedy), which describes Dante's travels through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven.

His writing was greatly influenced by The Bible and medieval Christian theology and philosophy, especially the writings of St. Augustine and Thomas Aquinas.

Yes, Dante Alighieri was a devout Christian. His most famous work, "The Divine Comedy," explores themes of sin, redemption, and the afterlife through a Christian lens. His beliefs in Christian values and theology heavily influenced his writings.

Dante was influenced by Tuscan poetry, particularly of troubadours of his own time. He came to be influenced also by Occitan writers of his time and ancient Latin poetry, particularly of Virgil.

Of course, he was also profoundly influenced by the political and religious goings on of his own generation, and by his own romantic feelings.
