Gabriele Mussi's mother, Candida, played the national lotteries all her life, but cautious Gabriele never did. A slight, earnest man of 35, Gabriele is a farm foreman at Sant 'Ilario, near Genoa, where he lives quietly with his wife. Last year his chance-taking mother died, at 75. Last month Gabriele, walking in downtown Genoa, passed a vendor selling tickets on the Merano lottery, Italy's oldest and largest. He remembered that it was the first anniversary of his mother's death. For the first time in his life-in memory of his mother-Gabriele...
...other Greek leaders landed in Italy and were feted with maximum pomp and ceremony. Premier Alexander Papagos and Foreign Minister Stephanos Stephanopoulos were met at the Rome airport by a delegation headed by Italian Premier Giuseppe Pella.

Severino's classmates at the village grammar school in Sant' Arcangelo soon caught the fever, formed a hard-painting little group known as "the School of Severino." Paramount Films did a movie short about the youthful artists. In last year's ECA International Child Art Competition (TIME, Sept. 24, 1951), several of the top prizes in Italy went...
...Neither his mother nor his grandparents can read or write. His father was captured by the Russians on the Don nine years before, and, like 60,000 other Italian soldiers, has not been heard of since. None of the other ten relatives who share the poverty-ridden farmhouse in Sant' Alessandro had ever sent or received a postcard in their lives...
