Dearest Mary,
many thanks for yr message.
I am Italian so I too am very sorry for the Pope death. I wsn't in
Rome, but I'd like to go there also for visiting Ingrid's places.
Sorry if I'm going on speaking about the Pope. I baught his
autobiography and that's really great! Also Ingrid would have
appreciated this man so much. He's been also an actor and he loved
theatre and cinema as well. Who knows?
Love.
Valentina
