divine comedy
dante da maiano wrote a sonnet in response to "a ciascun' alma presa e gentil core", the first sonnet in dante alighieri's "vita nuova". there was also a five-part exchange (probably preceding the "vita nuova") called the "duol d'amore" ("dolour of love"), in which dante da maiano wrote three pieces and dante alighieri responded to the first two. in a final two-part communication, dante alighieri wrote "savere e cortesia, ingegno ed arte" to dante da maiano's "amor mi fa sì fedelmente amare". in all their correspondence, the elder dante assumes an air of superiority towards his up-and-coming interlocutor, the future author of the "divine comedy". before dante alighieri's career had taken off, the elder dante was for a time quite famous in florence for his sonnet "provedi, saggio, ad esta visïone", in which he recounts a dream he had and asks his fellow citizens for an interpretation. chiaro davanzati, guido orlandi, salvino doni, ricco da varlungo, cino da pistoja and dante alighieri, in what was to be his earliest still-extant poem, all responded. dante da maiano, along with cino da pistoja, also wrote a response to a sonnet ("guido, vorrei che tu e lapo ed io") that alighieri sent to his friend guido cavalcanti.

the most popular of berman's romantic pairings proved to be with dominic zamprogna's dante falconeri and berman's accredits the couple's popularity to her co-star. long before the characters are officially paired together on-screen, the writers relished teasing a potential romance, and allowing them to get to know one another. dante and lulu meet for the first time on july 31, 2009, while he is undercover as dominic, and don't go on an official first date until late december 2009. berman appreciated the pacing of the story as it gave viewers a chance to watch, and actually enjoy their courtship. the couple shares their first kiss on august 26, 2009 after lulu stops her con artist brother from cheating him out money during a card game. by the spring of 2010, the pairing had become a hit with fans and critics alike, considering they were the children of two of the show's most popular characters, sonny and luke. the couple's relationship is constantly tested, starting with sonny shooting dante, forcing lulu to write him off, despite the fact that he has been like a father figure to her. being luke's daughter, lulu grows up never trusting the cops, and depending on criminals like her father and sonny for protection; according to berman, lulu is terribly confused after the shooting because sonny's actions contradict everything she grew up believing. for the first time, lulu must actually depend on the justice system. the couple's lack of "love making" became the focus of the media considering it went against the usual soap staple of a couple consummating the relationship, not long after meeting. in march 2010, berman and zamprogna appeared on "entertainment tonight" and gave viewers an inside look at the taping of the couple's first love scene, with the scene first airing on may 5. at the time, lulu and dante are two of the most hated people in town as dante's law-abiding ways have landed his little brother, and her cousin, michael corinthos (chad duell) in prison. the consummating of their relationship occurs at a time when everyone else is against them. the relationship is tested again when dante's past with sonny's new wife, brenda barrett (vanessa marcil) is revealed and lulu refuses to tolerate him keeping secrets due how secrets almost destroyed their relationship before.in september 2011, lulu begins dreaming about marriage and dante even catches her admiring a wedding dress. dante initially proposes on september 21 and lulu does not give him an answer. as lulu is finally able to forgive dante for covering for lucky's drug use, she sets up a romantic dinner, reminiscent of their first date to opera, where dante is supposed to officially propose. on september 23, as lulu is waiting for dante to come home from work, she gets a call from his mother, olivia about dante's being hospitalized. after dante wakes up from surgery, lulu reluctantly accepts the proposal but refuses to acknowledge it. it is dante's father sonny realizes the reason for lulu's hesitation and advises her to be honest with dante, and herself, about her fears. once lulu opens up about her fears, she suggests that dante take a desk job, which according to berman, would cause dante to resent her. berman explained that it is not a question of how much dante and lulu love one another, but "i think it's about accepting that life is going to deal you cards and you've got to let the chips fall where they may, but it takes time to accept something like that, because it's not how she's wired." in early december, lulu and dante go their separate ways and she turns to alcohol. on december 16, lulu has a change of heart and proposes to dante and the two officially become engaged. berman explained that lulu understands that she must cherish dante while she can, and not forget about all the possibilities. lulu finally stops drinking making what was appeared to be an addiction storyline a very temporary way of not dealing with her fears about marriage. the couple goes on a weekend get away to new york city where they talk about their future and spontaneously marry on december 23, 2011 in a small intimate ceremony. lulu takes a job as the evidence room clerk at the pcpd which allows for the character to embrace her adventurous side and follow in her parents footsteps. lulu accidentally discovers that dante's childhood friend, ronnie had been attacking strippers. ronnie kidnaps lulu along with sam mccall (kelly monaco) and they are rescued by dante and john mcbain (michael easton). the couple then begins trying to conceive and they learn that lulu cannot carry to term. the couple briefly considers adoption until maxie agrees to be their surrogate. as dante and lulu celebrate the unborn child with their parents, berman's decision to depart the series was announced. berman revealed in "soaps in depth" that her final scenes which culminate in lulu's abduction hints at a recast.
