Adelina Rasioli

Adelina Rasioli was born in Ravena but lived most of her life in Florence. We met on the train to Florence actually. She is an unhappy woman who peaked early after which not a lot exciting has happened in her life. On Friday 1st of May 1970, (she was seventeen and a half) she slept with Simon & Garfunkel after their show in Paris, at the L'Olympia. She is quick to point out that it was Garfunkel first and then Simon. Later, Adelina became a bookkeeper for a silk manufacturer and married her boss. About ten years later her husband died and they hired another chief accountant whom Adelina also married and who also died making her a rare double-widow. The silk manufacturer made her the chief accountant (a position from which she retired). Adelina has no children and sometimes listens to her old Vynil copy of "Bridge Over Troubled Water", her favorite is "The Boxer".
