Funeral for Enrico Caruso Draws Italian Royal and US Delegates
Naples chronicles the funeral of Enrico Caruso at Basilica di San Francisco, with royal representatives and Italian government officials in attendance. Reports say Mrs Curzio petitions the foreign minister to seal Caruso's New York residence as estate matters unfold. Court actions seek sequestration of his property until heirs are settled, the widow seeks control, and the Hotel Vesuvio apartment is sealed alongside safeguarding his documents. Caruso reportedly left a will naming heirs, but his daughter Gloria born to a later marriage becomes the sole legal heir under Italian law.
