19. NOTA SPORTIVA A VILLA REALE<br />

Quando Viviana Pecci Blunt era sposata con<br />

Luciano della Porta, avevano in comune una<br />

predilezione per le cose veloci e di ultimo<br />

grido.<br />

Possedevono una potente motolancia chiamata<br />

carinamente per rappresentare tutti e due<br />

con il nome portmanteau di Vivilù dipinto<br />

sullo scafo.<br />

A Villa Reale di Marlia, la storica proprietà<br />

della famiglia di Viviana, l’elegante Maserati<br />

sportiva dei della Porta contrastava con la piccola,<br />

modesta Fiat Giardinetta che serviva per<br />

andare in giro per la villa o al massimo per fare<br />

commissioni nella vicina Lucca.<br />

Marlia, 1972<br />

SPORTIVE NOTE AT THE ROYAL VILLA<br />

When Viviana Pecci Blunt was married to<br />

Luciano della Porta, they shared a predilection<br />

for the speedy and the up to date.<br />

They kept a fast motorboat charmingly called<br />

after both of them by the portmanteau name of<br />

Vivilù, which was painted on the hull.<br />

At her family country place, the historic Villa<br />

Reale di Marlia, their sm<strong>art</strong> racey Maserati twoseater<br />

contrasted with the sober little Fiat<br />

Giardinetta estate car, unassumingly utilized to<br />

go about the grounds or as far as nearby Lucca.<br />

Marlia, 1972
