...Princeton seniors I spoke with articulated similar sentiments. Giovanna Campagna, who is in Princeton’s tony Ivy Club—one of the last to integrate—told me that having co-ed clubs "makes the whole social world more gender-balanced—it’s not like a bunch of guys can rule the scene." She is unequivocal about her preference for gender integration: "I wouldn’t want to be in an all-girls eating club," she says firmly. Lizzie Presser, another senior and a member of the Terrace Club, also found...
...this fictional recreation of her life, Ida, played by Giovanna Mezzogiorno, is shoved into the shadows of secluded homes and mental hospitals as everyone around her insists that she forget the past and the father of her child. Mezzogiorno delivers a stunning performance, masterfully portraying the desperation of a scorned lover. Her obsession with her imagined marriage to Mussolini (Filippo Timi)—a problem first and foremost because he was already married with children before his affair with Ida—is second only to her resolve that she hasn’t imagined anything and is justified...
...Park Avenue hedge-fund manager might still have the bucks to buy Saint Laurent's Matisse, but the real investment is in something far scarcer: Saint Laurent's eye, his love of beauty and mannerisms and the exotic dream world within which he lived.

When she describes Marthashof, she talks about her love of nature and how she would like to recreate the atmosphere of the Italian village she was born in. Stefanel-Stoffel is surprised by the disapproval that her project has sparked among some of the neighborhood's residents. "We're putting our name, money and know-how into this," she says. "We want...
...Giovanna Bertazzoni, head of Impressionist and modern art for Christie's London, is hoping that Monday's record results will give a boost to future sales, after several auctions have taken place with extremely limited supply. "This was a special case," she said of the Paris auction. "But we hope that this will help us unearth more masterpieces, to convince others that this is a good time to sell. We see tonight that people very much still want to invest in art." Nevertheless, the same logic - and the shaky world financial system - may yet convince collectors to hold...
