Info
Dante Park (French: Parc Dante) is a park in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is located in Little Italy in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough. It is bordered by Dante Street to the north, de Gaspe Street to the west, and Alma Street to the east.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.A Monument to Dante Alighieri by Carlo Barboni was transferred to Dante Park in 1964 from its original location in La Fontaine Park.
