...description, Sophia Loren is "a unity of many irregularities." She has rewritten the canons of beauty. A daughter of the Bay of Naples, she has within her the blood of the Saracens, Spaniards, Normans, Byzantines and Greeks. The East appears in her slanting eyes. Her dark brown hair is a bazaar of rare silk. Her legs talk. In her impish, ribald Neapolitan laughter, she epitomizes the Capriccio Italien that Tchaikovsky must have had in mind.

With tumultuous thousands mobbing the tiny church at Predappio (where his father is buried), the bridegroom fainted dead away, but was revived by injection of a stimulant in time to weather the ceremony. The day came to an ill-starred conclusion when the chauffeur-driven Rolls of sister Sophia was involved in a collision that killed a local schoolteacher...
