Present exchange rate in about 1,800 lire to the pound sterling. A Venetian bank clerk, changing travellers' cheques for the Earl, finally solved the day's transport problem. He and his father Gianfranco Malplero-Italian composer-acted as hosts took the Eart and his Countess on a tour of Venice in a private motor-launch- and then home to dinper-(AP Photo).
