8″ Cloth & Plastic 1958 Zita from Palermo from the World Wide Doll Club. Zita came with an information letter which read: “Cara piccola amica Americana. That means my dear little American friends. I am your new bambola (doll), come to greet you from one of the loveliest places on earth, Sunny Palermo, capital of the Italian island of Sicily, in the blue Mediterranean.
From my home, one can clearly see lofty Mt. Etna, covered with snow the year round. And I have seen the famous old volcano growl angrily and send molten lava pouring down its sides though it doesn’t happen often. Sicily is warm and pleasant most of the time, with many orange trees, cactus plants and lavishly colored flowers which abound everywhere and even reach up and touch the snow capped peaks of Mount Etna with deicate rosy fingers.
Already I am lonesome for my bella Silcilia, though I really know that with you I shall be, how shall I say, contenta! But when my handsome financee, Valentino joins us too, I will indeed be a fortunate bambola. Bacie abbracci!”
The doll oriiginally belong to Clara Sacingo of Chicago, Illinois. I purchased Zita in 2009 from a seller in Warren, Illinois.
