Dante Park, Montreal
Dante Park (French: Parc Dante) is a park in the Little Italy neighbourhood of the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It covers about one-third of a local city block, bordered by Dante Street to the north, Alma Street to the east, residential buildings to the south, and de Gaspe Street to the west. The park was inaugurated on June 26, 1963 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the predominantly Italian Canadian parish of the Church of the Madonna della Difesa. It is located opposite the church. Dante Park was named for Dante Street, which itself was named for Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) a major Italian poet of the Late Middle Ages, who authored Divine Comedy, which is widely considered the most important poem of the Middle Ages and the greatest literary work in the Italian language.
