Married. Amelia Eden, 25, niece of former British Prime Minister Anthony Eden; and Giovanni Borrelli, 30, $35-a-week engine-room mate on a ferryboat that runs between Naples and Ischia; in Ischia, Italy. Said the bride's mother: "I'm not worried about Amelia's happiness. I know she will be happy. What worries me is the plumbing...
Toward the Double Bass. The new concerto is a close collaboration between Piatigorsky's Russian ebullience and Walton's polite English diligence. Composer Walton started his work two years ago on the Italian island of Ischia, but he and Piatigorsky, then touring the U.S. and Asia, kept in close touch. "I would cable him, IN BAR FOUR AFTER F.

Prince Henry started painting shortly after World War II in a run-down family castle in Germany. When his royal Italian grandparents went into Egyptian exile in 1946, he followed them, had his first show in Alexandria. Now he lives on the Italian island of Ischia, painting dreamlike scenes from "a world that is forever gone and finished." His pictures are filled with sculptured formal gardens, marble statuary, gay toy balloons-and a fine, whimsical sense of humor. In Reverie, a classic marble statue, all played out from sailing a paper boat, lies sleeping near a river, still clutching...
