Have you watched the 2008 film version? It may seem a bit cheap considering that the characters are all paper cutouts, but it's actually an interesting take on the Inferno translating the cultural references to the modern day and including some more dead people they may recognise.
Some of my favourites include George Sanders as a tree among the suicides, Muhammad as a taxi driver among the sowers of discord, Strom Thurmond dressed in a Mrs. Butterworth costume played by Dana "Master Shake" Snyder, and John Paul II on a Rascal in a hall of mirrors. It might take some effort to track down, but if you're interested in Dante and are willing to look past the cheap aesthetic, it's well worth it.
