Private funeral ceremony for producer Ponti
Carlo Ponti, the Italian producer who discovered a teenage Sophia Loren, launched her film career and later married her, has been buried in a private ceremony in his home town in northern Italy. Relatives and close friends attended a Mass at a church in Magenta, 20 miles west of Milan, where Ponti was born in 1912. He was buried after the ceremony in his family's tomb at a nearby cemetery. Ponti, 94, died on Tuesday at a hospital in Geneva, where he had been admitted to hospital about 10 days earlier because of pulmonary complications. Ponti and Loren had been living in Switzerland for years.
