The article examines the conflict between the Florentine factions of Whites and Blacks which involved Dante, as expression of a culture of vendettas largerly widespread in Italian cities. It retraces the origins of this conflict in the feud between Circles and Donati, his evolution, linked to the bonds of solidarity and enmity relationships with other local families and the strategies put in place by the parties until the arrival of Charles of Valois (1301) that marked the final outcome, leading among other things to the banishment of the poet.
