There's nothing wrong with this biography page, but it might be useful to acknowledge that Hans Castorp, the hero of Thomas Mann's "The Magic Mountain", smoked "Maria Mancini" cigars - this is noted in the article, The Magic Mountain . I don't know if Mann's name is historically-based, or made-up; in the novel, the brand is claimed to originate in Bremen, Germany. These days at least one cigar makers offer "Maria Mancini" cigars; there is even a "Maria Mancini Magic Mountain" cigar. 206.248.138.250 (talk) 23:04, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
