Heritage
A Living Monument to Italian History
Il Pellicano was the result of a love story between Michael Graham, a British Royal Air Force (RAF) aviator and the only survivor of a plane crash in Africa in the mid-1950s, and Patsy Daszel, socialite of the American jet set, who cut out an article about the plane crash and pasted it in her diary with the hope that someday she would meet the charming British soldier.
