Italian poet (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

dante

tasso

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">italian poet</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(Dante Alighieri)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for dante that I've seen before include "Italian poet, writer of the Divine Comedy" , "Net Da a poet" , "Thirteenth to fourteenth century Italian poet" , "Italian poet, 1265-1321" , "Great Italian poet of 'The Divine Comedy'" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and the Sydney Morning Herald.
