Wonderfully Disgraceful. The newest De Chirico malediction involved Milan's respected Brera Galleria, which last week put up for sale 248 examples of modern art that included six De Chiricos, two of them in his metaphysical style. Strolling through the exhibit before the sale, white-thatched De Chirico, now 72. was spotted by an attendant who asked: "Maestro, if you were on a sinking ship with these six paintings, vhich one would you save?" "I'd save them all," replied the maestro, and promptly went about "saving...
...overcast. They assure visitors: "It's the kind of climate that keeps you moving. In Rome, all you feel like doing is looking out the window." A Milanese is always going somewhere: to his job, or to one of the cafes and bars in the glass-domed Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, or to Italy's largest railway station to board the express to Rome, or to a business appointment in the slim, 33-story Pirelli Building, which is Western Europe's tallest, and was designed by a native son, world-famed Architect Gio Ponti...

Among the canvases she picked up are a boldly painted Galleria, Naples by Manhattan-born Al Blaustein, 32, and a startling Crucifixion by Abbey Scholarship Winner Thomas H. Dehill Jr., 31, of Cambridge. In Paris Mrs. Halpert found young Americans hemmed in by high costs and an abstractionist syndrome, but she spotted some work she liked, including the clouded-in abstractions of Duluth...
...gaudy old Galleria Umberto Primo was bright with flags: seven Russian, one American, no British and a spate of Italian with the arms of the House of Savoy removed. Three of Italy's antiroyalist parties-Communists, Socialists and Carlo Sforza's Actionists-brought out some 7,000 cheering, rain-soaked Neapolitans to boo Badoglio and the King, shout fiercely for a republic. The biggest meeting so far permitted by the Allies, it was a Neapolitan answer to Churchill's endorsement of their unwanted government.* The show ended with a ragged Partisan from Marshal Tito on stage, shouting...
