Angelo Litrico the tailor who dressed world leaders
Angelo Litrico, 41, the Sicilian tailor of Via Sicilia Rome, has stitched uniforms for Nikita Khrushchev and Dwight Eisenhower, among others. His shop, a gallery of signed photos and awards, counts Brazzi as a client and traces a rags to riches rise sparked by word of mouth in Rome's Cinecitta crowd. He once offered a collector $5,000 for a Khrushchev suit, but the loss of a friend outweighed money.
