Someone help me out here, I read Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, gave DVC back to my mom and loaned Angels and Demons to my fiance so I can't answer my own question.
Here it is: What happened to Vittoria and Langdon? I seem to remember Vittoria saying something to the effect of "I should have married a younger man" towards the end of A&D. Did they get married? What the heck happened to her by the time of DVC?
I'm sure there were references to her in DVC, but now I can't check because I'm too cheap to buy my own copy of it until it comes out on paperback. Thanks a lot for the help.

In “Angels & Demons”, Langdon has this dream (“I should have married a younger man”) twice. At the beginning of the book, a young woman calling his name, and at the end, this time,Vittoria calling him.
Langdon and Vittoria spend some time together in Rome and promised each other to meet again every 6 months but don’t get around to actually keep the promise… They only had Rome.

Right.. he thought about her in DVC when he went to Paris, but then dropped that thought, so, I guess nothing ever came of it.

Thanks for enlightening me. I think the reason I missed that it was a dream the first time I read it was that I was going pretty fast at that point, trying to get to the end.

I wonder if after the movie DVC, if Dbrown will write more and continue the last scion. (If indeed sophia is the last, cuz ther's many branches of those two family names, right ?)

I'm not sure about that... Sophia found her grandmother and her brother... DB will perhaps write about another "Langdon" girl  and thank you for the compliment!

Lnagdon girl? lol. It is James Bond-like. "Langdon, Robert Langdon". At least the Langdon girls wave brains.... I doubt Brown will go back to Sophie. He sorta abandoned Vittoria after one brief note in DVC, and He'll probably do the same with Sophie. I wonder what the next girl's name will be... It'll be in the US...hmm.... Catherine? Amanda? Nicole?

At the end of A and D, they did it. plain and simple. Then they decided to meet at a romantic location every so often, and it didnt work, and then good old Robert 'Bond' Langdon met Sophie. Dont feel bad for Vittoria. SHe's probably knee deep in geek ass (I remember reading the jokes that the people made at CERN, and shaking my head. Scientific humor just isnt all that funny. THe only thing that made me chuckle was Langdon's response to it)
I didnt particularly like Vittoria (or Sophie for that matter). Im waiting for the next book to see if Brown brings in a female character that im actually attached to. I cant particularly relate to (or understand) Sophie or Vittoria, so its sort of difficult to give a damn about either of them.

I think I prefer Vittoria as well, though Sophie was ok. In truth though, at times, I felt Sophie was just there to give Langdon someone to lecture/explain to.

I agree. Sophie was only important in the begining of the story. The rest of the time she was just a character who followed Robert. Roberts explained things to her so that the reader could also understand.

As much as i love DB, i think it is hard for men to write engaging female characters that readers can relate to. Although i do think he is improving, from Susan Fletcher to Vittoria to Sophie i think each one is easier to relate to than the last

If you look, every DB book has a male and female protagonist.
I also agree with Triad that Langdon would need to explain things to someone.
In a way, Dan Brown is using the 2nd protagonist to explain things to the reader. Therefore instating he is telling the reader directly.

I agree. Sophie was there mainly as a person Langdon could explain to. Still one cannot deny that she was the female lead of the book and a really important character in it.

I thought that when I read the Da vinci code, Its a real shame there was no real mention of her in DVC, Sopie became more of a replacement :-(

yeah, i liked vittoria, she really seemed to like robert, and the way da vinci and angels and demons went, it seems like he won't really get "involved" with sophie.

I thought she was perfect, much better than Sophie. I'd love for her to be in the new book.

How could DB scrap the character!? I think that Vittoria is the woman for Langdon. Sophie seemed too innocent and asexual. I don't remember reading at any point in DVC that Robert was the least bit entised by Sophie. Vittoria on the other hand is clearly a more sophisticated character. She catches his attention right away as she steps out of the helicopter. She's sensual, exotic(dark skin, dark hair, dark eyes) and well you can't go wrong with being a yoga master. I'm sure she showed Langdon a truly "religious experience" in the end. Why wouldn't he go back for more?

Now that Dan Brown finally confessed that "Victoria Vetra" is based on a real life person named "Victoria Vetri", perhaps this might clear up the mystery between the Vetra and Langdon relationship. I think additional facts or cofessions might come out... as well as the cross links between "A&D" and "DVC"???
