Asolo:
Lifestyle – At Home with Franca Coin.
In the delightful town of Asolo in the Veneto hillsides, in the past home
to the English poet Robert Browning, the actress Eleonora Duse, the explorer
Freya Stark, the violinist Wilma Neruda and the composer Gian Francesco
Malipiero, Franca Coin
president of the Fondazione Canova, the Venice International Foundation and
Friends of Venice, Italy, Inc. entertains her illustrious guest
Susan Stroman. Susan is the American
theatre director, choreographer and performer. She is a five-time Tony Award
winner, four for Best Choreography and one as Best Director of a Musical for
The Producers. Arriving "via boat" on a trip down the Rhine and en route to
Cortina, Susan stopped off in Asolo for an intimate dinner with friends.
