Man says he married 82 times

NZPA Phoenix A man, aged 53, who told investigators he had married at least 82 women in 20 years, has gone on trial in Phoenix, ‘:rizona, charged with bigamy. Giovanni Vigilotto was ar-

rested in December, 1981, in Panama City, Florida. According to investigators, he boasted of having married 82 women in the last 20 years in 18 states and nine foreign countries. He also said that he had been admitted to mental hos-

pitals on eight different occasions. Besides bigamy, he is charged with defrauding Patricia Gardiner, a local estate agent whom he married in 1981, of $36,500 she received for the sale of her house.

Joining forces for a remarkable new novel, “The Perons,” are Tony Rudlin and his wife, the actress, Ingrid Pitt, who have come up with an insight into the life of Colonel Peron and his ambitious wife, Eva, who eventually won supreme power in Argentina. The book, based on fact, took two

years of research. Londonborn Tony Rudlin is a former racing driver turned professional journalist and author. He spent 10 years working as European correspondent on “La Razon,” in Buenos Aires. Ingrid Pitt, who is an international actress of stage, screen and television films, has lived in

Poland, Germany, America, Spain, Argentina and England. She speaks six languages and received acclaim for her first novel, “The Cuckoo Run,” and has written a children’s book called "Bertie the Bus.” She appeared recently in the film, “Who Dares, Wins.”
