...elms is rarely disturbed by outsiders. The world-and even St. Johnsbury itself-seems unaware that the brooding, red brick building across from the courthouse is the U.S.'s oldest unaltered art gallery still standing.* Founded in 1871, the St. Johnsbury Athenaeum grew out of the 19th century fashion for industrial tycoons to dabble in the arts.

The sharpest asides occur in Capri, where the future principessa and her homosexual...
