Yolanda looks for home

February 23, 1923

Princess Yolanda of Italy, accompanied by her fiance, Count Calvi, and her lady-in-waiting, today visit the count's parents at their home in Turin. She and Count Calvi also looked at several prospective homes in the area. The Princess said that she will supervise the furnishing and decorating of her new home, "and she does not wish the installation of modern conveniences to alter the mediaeval character typical of the old Piedmontese country houses."
