...Italy has been exporting 90% of its wigs to the U.S. and relying on China for more than 80% of its hair, the ban has all but ruined the Italian wig industry, forced 80% of the companies that jumped on the wig wagon to go out of business. Even Gaetano Palombi, who earned the sobriquet King of Roman Wigmakers for his coiffures in such hairy Italianate screen extravaganzas as Ben-Hur and Cleopatra, has had to cut back his staff from 45 to twelve...
