PLUCKING A TREASURE FROM TUSCANY'S GROVES: A HISTORIAN'S LEGACY
TO NEW YORK UNIVERSITY IS A LIFE, AND VILLA, DEVOTED TO ART
by William H. Honan (p. B1,2 METRO)
Sir Harold Acton leaves his estate in Tuscany, La Pietra, to New
York University. Worth between $100 and $500 million it could
be the largest single gift to an American educational institution.
The estate goes to the University NOT the NYU Institute of Fine
Arts.
That's it.
