A special show of contemporary Murano glass put most Italian paintings in the shade, and some flamboyant ceramic figures of working girls by light-fingered Leoncillo Leonardi outshone more pretentious sculptures. As best Italian painter, the jury picked Giuseppe Santomaso for his pleasantly decorative abstractions, which resemble swatches of colored silk and black thread in a stiff breeze.

The Pope, imploring the guidance of the Holy Ghost, pronounced a formula of sanctification for each saint, then intoned a prayer...
