Can't believe these children are well out of step..to say italia herself was teaching these children..thank god..this was the early days..because none of these kids would ever get professional engagements..however italia conti after reading her own biography..was a woman if business...using kids to do work for free. While herself pocked the kids fees...she was a business woman and nothing was going to make her loose cash..basically she used the kids for her own benefits
