  Asia Argento has shared a picture taken with her late boyfriend Anthony Bourdain just days before his death
  Celebrity chef, presenter and writer Bourdain took his own life aged 61 in France on 8 June
  At the time of his death, he had been dating actress Asia for over a year, and she has paid tribute to the star by sharing a picture taken on 27 May, just 12 days before Bourdain died
  The picture saw the couple sitting in what appeared to be a red open-top convertible in Florence, Italy, with Asia throwing up devils horns
   Anthony sat next to her wearing a grey t-shirt, jeans and sunglasses, and was holding a green umbrella to shield them from the sun
    Asia’s caption read: ‘Nessun maggior dolore che ricordarsi del tempo felice ne la miseria; e ciò sa ‘l tuo dottore
  ‘Ma s’a conoscer la prima radice del nostro amor tu hai cotanto affetto, dirò come colui che piange e dice
” Dante Alighieri, Divina Commedia, V canto #Inferno May 27th 2018.’  The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri excerpt when translated reads: ‘There is no greater sorrow than to be mindful of the happy time in misery, and that thy Teacher knows
 But, if to recognise the earliest root of love in us thou hast so great desire, I will do even as he who weeps and speaks
’  Asia’s followers shared their condolences in the comments sections, as well as posting memories of Bourdain
  Asia, 42, has shared a number of pictures of her late partner on social media since his passing, including one of them on the beach captioned: ‘Two weeks without you
’  In the wake of his passing,  Asia – who met Anthony while he filmed a Rome episode of his series Parts Unknown – issued a statement reading: ‘Anthony gave all of himself in everything that he did
 His brilliant, fearless spirit touched and inspired so many, and his generosity knew no bounds
  ‘He was my love, my rock, my protector. I am beyond devastated. My thoughts are with his family
 I would ask that you respect their privacy and mine.’    In one of Bourdain’s final interviews, conducted in February by Popula, he confirmed that he was in love with Asia, and discussed how she helped him come to terms with his with his constant need to work
  He said: ‘I’d entertained the notion that I’m working toward a goal, or a day, where I could sit on a Tuscan hilltop in a hammock with a big stack of books, but I understand now that I couldn’t…that I can’t do that
 I can do that for short periods of time. But I can’t. I can’t.  ‘It’s helped me a lot that Asia is the same way
 That there’s no shame in this, you know…She’ll point out the ridiculousness of kicking back on the beach, because she’ll say right up front…”This doesn’t appeal to me at all! This is a living death
” I can’t do it. I can do it for a few days at a time.’  Need support? Contact the Samaritans    For emotional support you can call the Samaritans 24-hour helpline on 116 123, email jo@samaritans
