 Two Italian sisters who 20 years ago pilfered a diary belonging to Paul McCartney have been rewarded this week with a face-to-face meeting with the ex-Beatle, Italian newspapers report.
Francesca and Paola De Fazi were 10 and 11 when they broke into a London house where McCartney had once lived. They found a diary from the year 1970, full of notes, drawings and doodles in McCartney's handwriting. Some pages contained references to the break-up of the Beatles, which dominated headlines in Britain that year. "Paul tells John: 'I'm not a Beatle either'" read one entry from April 8. The sisters decided to give the diary back to McCartney while he was in Rome last weekend for two concerts. Diary in hand, they got past dozens of security staff at the star's hotel and finally got to meet their idol. "He told us we had been naughty girls. But then he thanked us for giving it back and signed autographs," one sister said.
