Italian fashion designer Laura
Biagiotti was admitted to Rome's Sant'Andrea hospital on
Wednesday evening after falling ill at her home in Guidonia,
ANSA sources said Thursday.
Details on the 74-year-old's condition have not yet been
released.
Biagiotti, who began her career in the 1960s, was dubbed "The
Queen of Cashmere" by the New York Times.
She has lived in the Roman countryside of Guidonia since 1980
in the 11th-century Marco Simone castle, which she restored
together with her late husband Gianni Cigna, who died in 1996.
