...This string of rosaries and remembrance began quietly enough. Last fall a gentle comedy-drama by a novice playwright tiptoed onto Broadway, after a run at the Manhattan Theater Club. Bill C. Davis' Mass Appeal lived up to its title, and this study of a wise, troubled priest and a rebellious young deacon is still going strong 160 performances later. Around the same time, Christopher Durang's Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All for You exploded off-Broadway.

"The kids wouldn't buy an item only because it had the Armani label," Galeotti explains. "We had to meet their demands-and their price range." Four Emporiums are already open; by September, there will be nearly 50 others all over Italy. And only, for the time being, in Italy. Prices can be kept down because the items...
