GARY: At last, La Dolce Vita has come to Boston. Perhaps the best film to come from post-war Italy (L'Avventura and Miracle in Milan notwithstanding), Doice--to give it the probable trade abbreviation--is an angry and moving indictment of the continent's rotting cafe society. Stark and beautiful, this is no movie to be missed. Evenings...
Rome's Quirinal Palace, Florentines broke through police lines three times to see her, Communist workers in Milan applauded her. But in Milan's La Scala opera house, things went to the other extreme. There the Queen accepted a bouquet from young dancers, joined Prince Philip and eight companions in the majestic isolation of the royal box, surrounded by 3,230 empty seats, as 200 singers and musicians staged a special, twelve-minute performance of the second-act finale of Lucia di Lammermoor...

The number of new recruits to the priesthood has been falling off in Italy at an alarming rate. Milan, the richest, largest archdiocese in Europe, documents the decline.

Until 1951, he wrote and published religious poetry, but he now considers himself an agnostic...
Wonderfully Disgraceful. The newest De Chirico malediction involved Milan's respected Brera Galleria, which last week put up for sale 248 examples of modern art that included six De Chiricos, two of them in his metaphysical style. Strolling through the exhibit before the sale, white-thatched De Chirico, now 72. was spotted by an attendant who asked: "Maestro, if you were on a sinking ship with these six paintings, vhich one would you save?" "I'd save them all," replied the maestro, and promptly went about "saving...
