...Gianni" Agnelli (pronounced Johnny An-yell-ie) lives in the style of an ancient Florentine prince. He is probably Italy's richest man and heaviest taxpayer-and he is, as well, an articulate social critic with a healthy appetite for life. His wife, a Neapolitan princess, is a renowned beauty and an energetic volunteer social worker as well as a society leader. The Agnellis have a couple of palaces and several retreats in the mountains and on the Italian Riviera. They travel among them in their own jet, helicopter and yachts. They socialize with the Henry Fords, Jackie...
Last week, however, it turned out that the Christian Democrats were not so reliable themselves. On the eve of the annual party congress, Giovanni Leone, the Neapolitan lawyer who had guided the minority government during the five months since the election, abruptly handed in his resignation. He figured that his fellow Christian Democrats were going to fire him, so he quit. In rapid succession, Mariano Rumor, the Christian Democratic party secretary, resigned his post, and Aldo Moro, who held the job of Premier during the five years of the center-left coalition, surprised everyone by suddenly withdrawing his supporters from...

But when the slats and canvas were screwed together into a miniature Neapolitan theater on the stage of Carnegie Hall, the audience found plenty to admire...
...Neapolitan city girl like Sophia Loren, 32, understandably gets the willies around wild animals-and this lit tle gathering included a bear, lion, tiger, leopard, ocelot, and a great dark brute dancing a tango. That would be Marcello Mastroianni, 42, Sophia's co-star (with Peter Sellers and Jonathan Winters) in Sophia's first musical, an ABC special called With Love...From Sophia, which will be shown on TV next month. No hoofer, Sophia rehearsed for weeks before taking on Marcello, who danced in a 1966 Italian stage musical. "I'm not Margot," she conceded after taping...
...heavy, Robards turns out to be strictly middleweight. His lean features and nasal drawl are foreign to the squat Neapolitan hustler. Occasionally, someone in the cast does lend an air of authenticity, notably Ralph Meeker as Moran and David Canary as a flat-faced machine gunner who seems to have stepped out of a lineup onto the set. But all too often the period costumes and a fleet of chuffing phaetons, landaus and flivvers look like the only genuine articles on view...
