As Vatican City is an independent city-state and the spiritual center of the Catholic Church, it does not have an official national poet. However, the Vatican has a rich tradition of religious and literary heritage, with numerous poets, theologians, and scholars contributing to its cultural legacy over the centuries. While there may not be a specific "national poet" of Vatican City, the works of poets such as Dante Alighieri, whose Divine Comedy is considered one of the greatest works of Italian literature and has deeply influenced Catholic theology and philosophy, hold significance within the broader context of the Catholic Church's cultural and intellectual tradition.
