...Ardea, 25 miles south of Rome. It houses 67 bronze sculptures, 271 drawings, 36 engravings and 40 gold figurines and medallions. All were donated by Inge Schabel, Manzu's longtime companion and model, with whom he has lived since 1954 and by whom he has two children, Giulia, 6, and Mileto, 4. Manzu had given the works to her as a kind of unofficial legacy. Otherwise, at his death, they would legally have gone to his wife. The couple have long been separated, but in Catholic Italy they cannot be divorced...
...much domestic bliss would be hard on any man. For Sergio Masini, first violinist in a Roman symphony orchestra, it is literally a labor of love: he adores all three of his families and is scrupulously fair to each. Giulia (Renee Longarini) is his legal wife; Adela (Maria Grazia Carmassi), a onetime opera singer, became his mistress when he began to console her for her cracking voice; and Marisa (Stefania Sandrelli) is a young country girl who fell in love with him at a concert and followed him to Rome. Each of them gets nine phone calls a day from...

His best friend's child has to be baptized twice so that both Giulia and Adela can be godmothers...

Many singers continue their eating and drinking while performing, following the tradition of Soprano Giulia Grisi, who, whenever she had to fall onstage, always landed near a trap door so that a stagehand could sneak her a glass of beer. In the Metropolitan Opera's current production of Electra, Birgit Nilsson's search for Agamemnon's ax is really a quest for a ginger ale stashed under a rock...
This latest Giulia joins a line of 14 other models, many of which can be described by one poetic company slogan: "The Wind Designed Them." Under the wind-blown look are engines that can leave most other cars far behind.* The expensive 2600 SZ model (price $6,695) speeds up to 131 m.p.h. Most other Alfa-Romeos easily top 100 m.p.h.; the somewhat sedate Ghilias are modestly rated at "over 96 m.p.h...
