Separated from sister
Associated Press · May 10, 1965
Maria Santina Foglia, one of 6-year-old Siamese twins, lies in hospital bed in Turin, Italy, today, after surgeons completed 2 1/2-hour operation to separate her from her sister, Giuseppina. Previous surgery two years ago successfully created separate lower intestines for the girls. They had shared the same lower intestine since birth. The girls, described by attending physicians as "full of expectation," had been joined at the spine.
