My Dolce Vita: A Memoir [Hardcover] by Jean Govoni Salvadore
This book was on Vogue.com as well as reviewed by WWD. That’s good enough for me!
“Jean Salvadore hasn’t only observed the good life, she has lived it… The Paris-born Salvadore has culled all sorts of colorful stories from her decades of keeping diaries, a practice she first picked up as a schoolgirl in England, for her book, which is published by Glitterati. Like any good hostess or friend, she couldn’t help but turn a morning interview into a conversation with labyrinths of side stories about Bette Davis, Slim Aarons, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and other travelers she befriended.” –WWD
An incredible chronicler of both fact and intuition, Salvadore has always kept copious appointment agendas from the age of ten. In My Dolce Vita, Salvadore describes her teenage school days and the horrors of World War II, her exciting years as the first female public relations executive in Italy for TWA and Howard Hughes, and her more than four glamorous decades as the PR legend of Villa d’Este on Lake Como.’
