Vita Nuova

Book • 2012
Dante Alighieri's "Vita Nuova" is a collection of poems and prose that recounts his youthful love for Beatrice Portinari.

The work is a significant example of courtly love literature and explores themes of love, beauty, and spiritual longing.

Dante's poetic style is characterized by its emotional intensity and allegorical depth.

The work is structured around the stages of Dante's love for Beatrice, from initial encounter to her death and his subsequent spiritual journey.

"Vita Nuova" is considered a precursor to Dante's later masterpiece, "The Divine Comedy.
