LARIA IN LOMBARDIA
LUISINA, ONE OF OUR FIRST FRIENDS TO WEAR LARIA, HAS JUST SENT US PICTURES OF HER WEEKEND TRIP FROM VARESE TO LAGO DI GARDA
SO LARIA HAS TRAVERSED THE WHOLE OF LOMBARDIA AND IS NOW ON THE SHORES OF THE DIVINE LAKE
LUISINA'S TRIP REMINDED ME OF MY MOTHER'S STORIES ABOUT OUR TIMES IN SIRMIONE ON LAGO DI GARDA. MARIA CALLAS WAS MARRIED TO MENEGHINI AT THE TIME AND THEIR VILLA WAS ACROSS THE STREET. CALLAS WOULD PRACTISE IN THE EVENINGS AND HER ARIAS WOULD FLOAT ACROSS INTO THE GARDENS OF VILLA CORTINE
