  27. A Dress for Cinderella.58 years ago, in 1952, a young Italian girl was dreaming about marrying a young man she was in love with, but she knew they would have to wait for a long time because they had no money. In 1952, a young actress Audrey Hepburn was planning her wedding to London playboy called James Hanson… She had already played the leading part in a Hollywood musical and was making her film debut in Roman Holiday. While filming in Rome the actress ordered her wedding dress in a famous Fontana house. It was a perfect wedding dress - made of white lace, with a flowing train.At last it was practically ready and Audrey had to go to the designers for the final fitting… but two weeks before the wedding Audrey called it off. She could just keep the dress or sell it, but instead she phoned Fontana and said: «I want my dress to be worn by another girl, someone who couldn’t ever afford a dress like mine, the most beautiful poor Italian girl you can find.» Now the three Fontana sisters who owned the house had to find a girl , poor, young, beautiful and pencil-slim like Audrey. They thought of a poor new town of Latina, not far away from Rome. The mayor of Latina gave them the name of AmabileAltobello. Amabile met all the requirements, and she got the dress. The people of Latina were so exited that the town gave Amabile kitchen furniture and organized a honeymoon in Paris. «It was a dream come true, » - she said. The story was soon forgotten. But this year the Fontana fashion house was planning an exhibition of dresses made for film stars and other celebrities, so the last of the Fontana sisters decided to find out what had happened to Hepburn’s dress and the girl who had got it.AmabileAltobello still lives in the same town of Latina. She has three children and five grandchildren. She and her husband haven’t become rich, but they have had a happy marriage, Amabile says that the dress brought her luck, so she kept it, carefully wrapped in tissue paper, all these years. The wedding dress will be displayed during the town of Latina’s 70th anniversary celebrations in December. The mayor promises a huge party and in memory of Audrey Hepburn. He also promises to give a new wedding dress to the first girl to get married in the town after the anniversary.
