Jan. 1, 1951 - Rome, Italy - American-born Greek dramatic opera singer MARIA CALLAS. Upon her arrival in Verona, Italy, CALLAS met GIOVANNI BATTISTA MENEGHINI, an older, wealthy industrialist, who began courting her. They married in 1949, and he assumed control of her career until 1959, when the marriage dissolved. It was Meneghini's love and support that gave Callas the time needed to establish herself in Italy, and throughout the prime of her career, she went by the name Maria Meneghini Callas.
