Title : E' ti saluto con amore. Messaggi amorosi epistolari nella letteratura Arturiana in Italia [the love letter, as a literary genre, has its roots in Ovid's "Heroides," and Arthurian love letters can be found in twelfth century France; Italian Arthurian literature soon had its own love letters, many tied to the Tristan or Lancelot cycle; the Ovidian tradition was fused with the forms of the "Ars dictaminis," the standard method of drafting letters].

Title : Francesca, una Beatrice incompiuta (INF V 73-143) [Dante's Francesca da Rimini is an example of heroic love; the poet found precedents in Ovid's "Heroides" and Virgil's portrait of Dido; Francesca and Paolo fit the stereotype of courtly lovers, but Dante's opinion of their surrender to passion is negative, because they separated themselves from God; Francesca, the earthly woman, is contrasted with Beatrice, the heavenly one, with Francesca being an incomplete version of the other].
