This Island off the Amalfi Coast in Italy Is Shaped Like a Dolphin

Once Massine died, the island was purchased by another Russian dancer, Rudolf Nureyev. The acclaimed ballet dancer is considered by some to be the best of his generation. In 1961 he evaded the KGB and defected to the West—the first major artist to do so. This caused an international sensation and he then went on to dance for the Royal Ballet in London and served as director of the Paris Opera Ballet.
