When summoned to Pablo Picasso's Riviera villa last March, Paris Printer Aldo Crommelynck packed only one clean shirt. There had been many previous summonses in the 20 years that Crommelynck, 37, and his brother Piero, 34, had been privileged to print the master's occasional engravings. The brothers even found it worthwhile to keep a small printing press in an atelier near Picasso's house, enabling the impatient artist to view proofs without delay. From those earlier calls, Crommelynck fully expected to run off proofs of one or possibly two new engravings-all Picasso ever seemed...
...Taming of the Shrew, starring the Burtons, Zeffirelli dazzles the eye with a virtuoso use of color. His camera is a Renaissance palette.

Or they can tie themselves up in knots with Robert Israel's 35-foot-long Dacron and vinyl python titled Progress...
...from the Ukraine to Trieste. Olivetti is in the midst of talks to supply the Soviet Union with office equipment. Almost weekly some new deal is announced in which an Italian company snaps up a contract in Russia. The man most responsible for all of this is an Italian, Piero Savoretti, 46, who for years has labored patiently to sell Italian products in Russia...
