...impatiently for their glum bachelor King to get married, Paola seemed the perfect answer to the national yearning for a royal romance. Blonde, gracious and 21, she is descended from one of Italy's oldest noble families, the daughter of the late aviation ace, the Prince Fulco Ruffo di Calabria, Duke of Guardia Lombarda and Count of Sinopoli...
Around the world, peace could be captured in the sight of Dior models in front of Stalin's tomb, in the pensive glances of Belgium's Prince Albert and Italy's Princess Paola Ruffo di Calabria before their marriage this week. The prosperity of Western Europe could be seen at the crowded beaches, in the tumult of new cars crowding the Autobahnen.

Three days later, Pope John XXIII announced in Rome that he would perform the marriage himself at the Vatican, and let it be understood that there would...
Vitelloni, directed with tenderness and humor by Federico Fellini, is technically superb in every respect. The actors, led by Franco Fabrizi, manage to separate themselves from the crowd and yet show how each contributes to the crowd. Each seems to develop a point of view. Leonora Ruffo matures from a squealing dumb Italian to a sympathetic character of real stature. And Nina Rota's music is excellent...
