In one of this man's works, the fifth and final canzone (cahn-DZO-nay) is interrupted at the death of its subject. He wrote that Eden was found on top of a mountain in the southern hemisphere in a work which used terza rima and was written in his native Tuscan dialect, like the aforementioned La Vita Nuova (lah VEE-tah NUO-vah). That work opens with the narrator being attacked in a wood by a leopard, lion, and she-wolf, and sees (*) "Abandon all hope ye who enter here" inscribed on the gates of Hell.
