Named his granddaughter
Vanna Bonta after Vanna, the muse and mistress of
the medieval poet Guido Cavalcanti. Cavalcanti's most widely read
sonnet (You, Whose Look Pierced through My Heart) is dedicated to the
poet's lady Vanna. Ugolini chose the Florentine renaissance name, which
also appears in a book by
Dante Alighieri "La Vita Vuova" (The New Life), where
Dante writes of the lady Vanna and literary true love icon
Beatrice.
