MARRIED. Angelo Rizzoli, 36, head of the Italian publishing empire that owns Italy's most widely circulated newspaper, Corriere della Sera (circ. 550,000), more than a dozen magazines and the international chain of Rizzoli bookstores; and Eleonora Giorgi, 26, Italian character actress who once starred in erotic films; both for the first time; in Venice...
...Register (circ. 209,000 daily; 392,500 Sunday) started getting its own way back in 1903 when Gardner Cowles Sr. bought the paper and began distributing it throughout the state.

But over the past two decades, Toronto has gradually displaced Montreal as the nation's leading city. English-speaking Montrealers began moving out in even larger numbers after René Lévesque's secession-minded Parti Québecois won control of Quebec in 1976. For a while, the Star weathered that...
