...wealthiest industrialist, they are so proud of the industrial glories of their fast-growing city that some of them talk facetiously of a "republic of Milan." An Italian magazine recently suggested that the republic already had its first ambassador to the U.S. He is wiry, sharp-faced Piero Bassetti, who, at 34, not only runs his family's sizable, 140-year-old textile business, but also is one of Italy's most active and controversial politicians.

...Avventura, also, Claudia said that she did not know what was troubling her, but soon she realized that she was falling in love with Giorgio. Vittoria, however, certainly does not love Piero, although she does find him attractive.
