Answer: Inferno

The Divine Comedy consists of 14,233 lines, divided into three cantiche (canticles): Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso. These represent Hell, Purgatory and Paradise. Each contains 33 cantos. However, there is an initial canto which serves as an introduction to the poem, and is generally assumed to belong to "Inferno." This brings the total number of cantos to 100.
