Miriam Chiaromonte Obituary

CHIAROMONTE--Miriam Rosenthal, 96, died at home in Rome, May 19. Wife of the late Nicola Chiaromonte, friend to many near and far, Miriam was part of several extraordinary circles of intellectuals and artists in New York and Europe among whom were such individuals as Dwight Macdonald, Meyer Schapiro, Albert Camus and Tino Nivola. Her friend, a writer, wrote of her: "It was a joy to see you, positively uplifting... your semi-private or public self is a light house, and I am not the only dark or dubious cranny who responds to its rays."
