This was part of the price that Fanfani had agreed to pay for the parliamentary support of powerful fellow-traveling Socialist Pietro Nenni. Nenni, who frankly regards this as a step toward the end of free enterprise in Italy, has scored a real coup: Italy's power industry has more than doubled its output in the last decade (to 60 billion kilowatt-hours last year) and has prospered despite the fact that...

To secure the reforms which the government promises and Italy desperately...

Sophia was snubbed by some of Italy's foremost politicians, and the affair had to be canceled. Left-Wing Socialist Pietro Nenni, unhappy that Sophia's sister married a Mussolini, sent his regrets; Entertainment Minister Alberto Folchi, aware that Sophia is living in sin with Producer Carlo Ponti (since bigamy charges brought against Ponti forced them to disavow their 1957 marriage early this year), developed a diplomatic cold.
