GINA LOLLOBRIGIDA DELAYS WEDDING

Gina Lollobrigida and Javier Rigau y Rafols

Gina Lollobrigida's wedding to her longtime boyfriend has been postponed until next year, the Italian actress said Monday. Lollobrigida, 79, will marry Javier Rigau y Rafols, 45, of Barcelona, Spain, on Jan. 27. The couple, who met at a party in Monte Carlo, Monaco, have been dating for 22 years. They were set to wed in New York later this month, but decided to hold the ceremony in a Rome church "given the interest and the affection of many European friends, in particular Italian and Spanish ones," the couple said in a joint statement. It will be the second wedding for Lollobrigida, once dubbed "the most beautiful woman in the world" after the title of one of her movies. She was divorced from her previous husband in 1971.
