Christina Bellin

Christina P. Bellin (1939 – 27 April 1988, New York City) was an Italian-born American model and an international social figure who was born in New York City. Her full name was Maria Christina Orfea Paolozzi di Chiusi Bellin.

Early life

Bellin was the daughter of Alice "Alicia" Orpha Spaulding (12 May 1917, Boston – 13 April 2002, New York City), a Roman aristocrat. She grew up at the Villa Paolozzi in Rome, Italy (1949–1952) and was educated in Switzerland and at the Madeira School in McLean, Virginia, USA. The picture caused a sensation because at the time fashion magazines did not publish unclothed figures. Her funeral was held at St. James Church at Madison Avenue and 71st Street in Manhattan.
