Francesca da Rimini
I was a bit baffled to find such a modernistic quote in conjunction with the name of a person found in Dante's Inferno, Canto 5, and the inspiration for works by Tchaikovsky, Rodin et al. After Googling the quote, however, it turns out to have been said by an Australian multimedia artist and the subject of an online interview in which the quote can be found. The coincidence of names makes it decidedly difficult to sift for evidence of notability. Brainy Quote, for example,  confuses them both. Even her interviewer can't help remarking on the matter: "Your actual name, Francesca da Rimini, could easily be mistaken as being one of your guises. Have you been affected by being named after a tragic character in Dante's Inferno?" There is nothing for the artist/writer on Wikipedia or Amazon.com. Doing searches for her name along with various words (e.g., cyberfeminism, dollspace, VNS Matrix) comes up with some results, including an online workspace; but it doesn't seem, based on what I've been able to make out, that she has gained the sort of recognition needed for Wikiquote. Perhaps the creator of this page could enlighten us further. - InvisibleSun 10:29, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
