With the recent crowning of a new Miss Italia, Miss Scribner, who happens to be our resident historian pointed out at a recent staff meeting that we should honor a Miss Italia contestant from 1947! Even though the only staff member who was around in 1947,was our beloved librarian Lorraine, (though she'd never admit it), we did take note and took this suggestion to heart. In 1947, Gina Lollabrigida competed for the title of Miss Italia and placed 3rd. She would go on to a major film career and eventually become a celebrated photo journalist. She picked up a "Golden Globe" award along the way and is now still one of Italy's great beauties at the amazing age of 81. "Siete una belleza senza tempo!"
