The Italian countess Pilar Crespi married on June 8, 1973, in the palace of her family in Florence, with the Colombian Gabriel Echavarría Obregón, son of the industrialist Hernán Echavarría. For the occasion, 2,000 participation cards were sent, and the ceremony had guests from all over the world. The bride, 22, and the Colombian, 29, met in the Bahamas in 1967 and began their courtship in 1970, when they saw each other in New York, according to the story published in CROMOS and signed by Gloria Pachón de Galán, correspondent of the publication in Rome. The bride worked as an assistant director of Vogue and was head of public relations of the house Valentino, her favorite couturier, and who, of course, designed her wedding dress in delicate white linen.
