...crystal ballons of the sort normally seen only at the swankiest restaurants, brings an invocation of 'Hei, hei,' a friendly salutation which Fielding has borrowed from the hard-drinking Finns. Old anecdotes are dredged up and embellished until they sink again?about the day that Prince Albert and Princess Paola of Belgium visited the villa for skeet shooting and the time that a U.S. Navy admiral suddenly and inexplicably vanished in the middle of a Fielding party. It turned out that he had fallen from the rock garden, broken a leg, and painfully dragged himself half a mile...

The tableaux are often visually stunning, in the best tradition of Italian neorealism: the ennui and self-contempt of family meals at which the cat steals food from the blind mother's plate, the seedy despair of rooms where...
...Have Them All." Along the way he collected such other fashion pacesetters as Marella Agnelli, Princess Paola of Belgium, Audrey Hepburn and Anne Reed. Now he is the acknowledged king of Italian couture. His brown and white "head to toe" line featuring chain-printed silks was the hit of Rome's recent spring and summer collections. Though he has a staff of nearly 200 at his headquarters on Via Gregoriana, he has just opened a second salon in Milan to keep up with orders...
