Although the details surrounding the life of Beatrice Portinari, pronounced bay'-a-treech-eh, (1266-1290) are subject to much dispute, there is little doubt she was a major influence in Dante Alighieri's life, influencing particularly his works of La Vita Nuova and La Divina Commedia.
Following their first meeting, Dante was so enthralled by Beatrice that he later wrote in La Vita Nuova: "Here is a deity stronger than I; who coming, shall rule over me." Indeed, she did and Dante frequented parts of Florence, his home city, where he thought he might catch even a glimpse of her.
Beatrice's influence was far from simple inspiration, she appeared as a character in his two greatest works - La Vita Nuova and La Divina Commedia.

 96-1240 -- Vitkus v. National Union Fire Insurance Co. Of Pittsburgh -- 10/14/1997
Beatrice asserts that National Union is not entitled to recover as subrogee because (1) Beatrice did not cause the loss in question, and (2) National Union did not pay any amounts under the Emhart policy.
Beatrice contends that the settlement did not constitute a "loss" under its insurance, as defined by the Lloyd's policy, because Vitkus (1) never actually paid anything from his own funds and, once again, (2) that Vitkus never became "legally obligated to pay" any portion of the settlement amount as required by the policy.
Beatrice's argument is based on an interpretation of the so-called "other insurance" provisions of the two policies: since both the Lloyd's and the Emhart policies only provide Vitkus "excess" coverage for his service on Silverado's board of directors, both insurers must share his liability.
