...inflected by supergraphics as by walls. Moore's latest project, with which he is "thrilled," is really a stage set. The Piazza d'ltalia fountain in New Orleans was commissioned as a celebratory space for the local Italian community. Moore dismissed all thought of "unitary" Tuscan directness and produced a razzmatazz design, a caprice resembling the gaudy, papier-mâché fair sets of Sicilian festa decor: fragments of Roman and Renaissance buildings around an 80-ft.-long stone map of Italy, like the masterpiece of a megalomaniac pastry cook. A fountain spurts out of Moore's Sicily, and its water...

A right-wing politician, suspected of participating in a fatal attack on a Communist Youth Federation member in 1976, was killed; two young leftists and the wife of a journalist working on the far-right newspaper II Secolo D'ltalia were wounded...

They may soon change their ways. Moving boldly into a field that has belonged almost exclusively to pawnbrokers and loan sharks, who charge 30% to 100% interest, the Milan-based Banca d'America e d'ltalia, a subsidiary of the U.S. Bank of America, set up a small-loan program late in 1965.

Even Credit Cards. American banks have also introduced European businessmen to such U.S. banking practices as factoring and leasing, and are wooing smaller customers for the first time. Italy's Banca d'America e d'ltalia, which is controlled by Bank of America, last summer opened Italy's first bank consumer-credit service, provides loans of from $165 to $1,600 at a discounted 6% interest rate instead of the 30% to 100% interest that Italian loan sharks demand...

...newest acquisitions, lifted into place last week, are two reliefs by Italian Sculptor Giacomo Manzù, 56, who did the Doors of Death for St. Peter's in Rome (TIME, July 24). Designed for the portal of the Palazzo d'ltalia, the bronze plaques replace a blatant bit of Mussolini modern-a 1935 glass panel of a lump-shouldered shoveler by one Attilio Piccirilli, inscribed ART IS LABOR; LABOR IS ART. "Brutto!" exclaimed Manzù when he saw it and, commissioned by the Fiat automobile company, engraved in 1963 his own images in bronze...
