Dante moves through Lake Como like a man who knows its secrets by heart—where the light fractures just right over Bellagio’s hillside villas at dawn, which stones on the shore make perfect skipping across glassy water, and how to slip unseen into the grotto only reachable by rowboat, its walls lined with candles and shelves of handwritten recipe-songs he’s composed for lovers who couldn’t sleep. He runs an underground supper club where each course is a chapter in an unspoken romance—dishes that taste like first confessions or almost-kisses—and though tourists flock to his lakeside terrace for truffle tagliatelle under fairy lights, it’s the after-hours experiences he crafts with precision and soul: lullabies hummed over campari stirred slow as tides, dates designed not around spectacle but silence.He doesn’t believe in grand love declarations—at least not out loud. Instead, he communicates through touch: a thumb brushing your wrist as he passes wine, the way he leaves a single sprig of wild thyme on your plate when you’re anxious. His fear isn’t loneliness—it’s being seen. Truly seen. And yet, when he rows someone out to the grotto at 4 a.m., whispering about constellations named after forgotten poets, his voice cracks with something tender and unguarded, like a door left open by accident. The city watches—he knows it—but for once, he doesn't care.His sexuality is measured in breaths shared under misty archways, fingertips tracing collarbones not to claim but to ask, *Is this okay?* It’s in the quiet choreography of undressing by candlelight while rain drums on stone—a slowness that feels sacred. He doesn’t rush. He studies—the way a lover’s pulse jumps when he sings the lullaby written just for them, how their body leans into his before they realize it’s happened.Dante's greatest rebellion is intimacy itself: choosing it despite being watched from every balcony and hidden garden path along Lake Como's edges. He believes love isn’t found—it’s curated, moment by imperfect moment. And sometimes, when insomnia grips him too tightly, he writes new lullabies not to soothe others, but to remind himself that vulnerability isn’t weakness. It’s the rarest kind of courage.
