From Nancy’s childhood in New York and Italy and the accident which nearly killed her, to her successful career in international law; from the break-up of her marriage in Italy to her arrival in the UK in the full, punishing glare of the celebrity spotlight, and the all-too-public crises which would have finished most of us off.
