Your research of Manana Pignatelli is impressive, Rocaille. The Princess intrigued me when I found a photo of her in a mid-twentieth century Life magazine. Dressed in her sleeveless, black pierrette jumpsuit, wearing high black platforms, a black cloche on her head, eyes rimmed and blackened up to the brow – she is seated next to an enormous sculpted goddess – and Manana is hugging a small dog… there at Capri.
Thank you for this great post.
