We do not actually know how Dante looked like.
There are conventional representations, many from the nineteenth century, who depict him as strongly dinaric: the Dante Alighieri society in Italy is a freemasonic society for wich we can assume that his conventional representation might have taken a more semitic bend for empathy reasons.
