In The Centre of the Bed (2003), Bakewell records (p. 106): 'In the summer of 1953, I had my mother's permission to travel with my Peile Hall [Newnham College] friend Angela Linger to Rome [...]. In defiance of plans drawn up and agreed at home, I stopped off in Paris to meet up with Michael [Bakewell], who was doing a summer course at the Sorbonne. After a week together we travelled on to Rome [...] pausing only to hear Martinelli sing in the Terme di Caracalla [and] took off for Florence where we rapidly and thoroughly fell in love.'
