There came to our ears the news of an accident involving Miss Lombardy who is currently in vacation in the nice seaside resort of Porto Azzurro. One day while she went in a group visiting another village to admire the view over the blue Tyrrhenian (because in Elba there is a different view of the Tyrrhenian from each perspective) the very pretty diva, while getting off the car taking her on an undisturbed tour around the villages in Elba, happened to be targeted by some farsighted eyes that saw in her jacket, already long enough, a too small garment compared to the commun shorts that millions visitors usually wear in all summer resorts.

They were close to insults, except that the villagers got their common sense back-apparently- and returned a festive smile to the beautiful and correct diva, who recoiled with disdain thinking that maybe that wasn't the way to encourage tourism in Elba. 

Needless to say that once she got back to Porto Azzurro and the news of the pitiful accident spread, Miss Lombardy received tighter smiles and compliments from the whole village. Also a way to increase admiration around her of which she is continuously made subject .
