Ma questa ipotesi, sebbene segnalata da una lapide moderna che colloca la data di morte di Beatrice al 1291, è incoerente perché Beatrice morì maritata e quindi la sua sepoltura avrebbe dovuto avere luogo nella tomba della famiglia del marito. Infatti Savini indica come possibile luogo il sepolcro dei Bardi situato nella basilica di Santa Croce, sempre a Firenze, tutt'oggi segnalato nel chiostro da una lapide con lo stemma familiare, vicino alla Cappella dei Pazzi.
Beatrice "Bice" di Folco Portinari[1] (1266–1290) (pronounced [be.aˈtriːtʃe]) was a Florentine woman known as the muse of the poet Dante Alighieri. A Beatrice was the principal inspiration for Dante's Vita Nuova, and also appears as his guide in the Divine Comedy (La Divina Commedia) in the last book, Paradiso, and in the last four canti of Purgatorio. There she takes over as guide from the Latin poet Virgil because, as a pagan, Virgil cannot enter Paradise and because, being the incarnation of beatific love, as her name implies, it is Beatrice who leads into the Beatific vision.
Scholars have long debated the identity of the historical Beatrice. She was apparently the daughter of the banker Folco Portinari, and was married to another banker, Simone dei Bardi. Dante claims to have met her only twice, each time separated by nine years but was so affected by the meetings that he carried his love for her throughout his life.
The tomb of Beatrice, the woman loved by Dante, is traditionally shown in the church of Santa Margherita de 'Cerchi ( Firenze ), close to the houses of the Alighieri and Portinari
