Author chooses youth
An Italian novelist, Alberto Moravia, aged 78, married a Spanish woman less than half his age in a civil ceremony on Rome’s Capitoline Hill today. The author, who for more than 50 years has chronicled the foibles of Rome’s bourgeoisie, married Carmen Llera, aged 32, with whom he has lived for the past three years. Mr Moravia’s first wife, Elsa Morante, died two months ago. The couple had been separated since 1962 but Morante, a prominent novelist in her own right and a devout Roman Catholic, always opposed divorce. Ms Llera, who comes from a small town near Pamplona and works for the Italian publishers of Moravia’s novels, is divorced from her Spanish first husband. She has a son, aged 12.—Rome.
