By Mary Beth Sheridan Associated Press VITERBO, Italy Seven years after three marble heads were fished from a canal and mistakenly hailed as long-lost masterpieces of Amedeo Modigliani, experts have claimed another sensational discovery of the artist's work. Art historian Osvaldo Patani and researcher Alberindo Grimani say they have found 79 sketches done by Modigliani during his youth in Italy. If authentic, the drawings would vastly enlarge the collection of Modi-gliani's work done before he moved to Paris in 1906. It was there that he produced the portraits and nudes that established him as a top artist of the age. But Modigliani's descendants have denounced the drawings as fakes.

Italian art experts are briskly debating whether the primitive, unsigned sketches could belong to the artist known for his long-necked, elongated figures in striking colors. "They have nothing to do with Modigliani," declared Guido Guas-talla, vice-president of the Paris-based Legal Archives of the Amedeo Modigliani Institute. He also is director of a project to turn the artist's childhood home in the Italian city of Leghorn into a museum.

thru Order Tickets by After a complaint by Guastalla and the Modigliani archives, police arrived earlier this month at a 13th-century Viterbo palace where the drawings are on exhibit. They declared them under judicial custody while a Viterbo magistrate investigates. However, the pencil and ink sketches will remain on display until the show ends Oct. 22. The controversy may have helped the exhibit, which drew over 2,500 people in its first 11 days, according to organizers.

The controversy is just the latest surrounding the work of Modigliani, who died in 1920 after a brief career marked by poverty, drug abuse and friendships with a glittering Paris circle of avant-garde artists. Seven years ago, Italy's art world was shaken when three college students admitted that, as a prank, they had sculpted three heads discovered in Leghorn's canal. Many experts had declared the sculptures were Modigliani's. The curators of the exhibit in Viterbo, north of Rome, contend the sketches are no hoax. They say tests show the drawings were done during the period of Modigliani's youth and that several depict Modigliani's brother and sister, or places he visited.

a motivational speaker, "develop a library of motivational videotapes and establish a volunteer network through a 900 number so people can find out where they can volunteer." Miss Hawaii, Tuesday's preliminary swimsuit winner, is 5-foot-lO, 128 pounds and absolutely contends she only exercised "five or six times" to get ready for the pageant. Many of the old-school Miss A's we won't name names here say things that, in comparison to the others, are jaw-droppingly dumb. "Before I got into the pageant system, I couldn't have told you anything about Russia." "One of the best things I've gotten out of pageanting is that I take tests much better." "My state people make me do so much reading to get ready for this. I'll be glad when it's over." "Really, I didn't do anything to prepare for the pageant. Well, put on a few pounds.

And I can eat whatever I want and not gain weight." These are the same contestants, incidentally, who tell you the first thing they're going to do after the pageant is order a hot-fudge sundae. Basically, many of these old-school contestants are ditzes. And dishonest. And interviewing them is like eating consomme with a fork. Because that's about as much as you get out of it.

The transitional contestants represent both worlds: They look like the traditional Miss A's tiny, pretty, perky but they're smart. Most of them hail from the South, where there are no fools when it comes to the changing world of pageantry. Miss Georgia Kimberly Paige Hardee is a bedrock conservative and a theology student, but speaks her mind and is funny. Miss Mississippi Mary Allison Hurdle is sweet, very pretty and wants to be a CPA. The strongest of the transitional candidates is Miss Oklahoma Gina-Lynne Smith, who is 5-foot-6, weighs 110 (and she's not one of the many contestants who is fibbing about this) and has blond hair and baby-blue eyes.

Basically, she looks like a Miss plus she's sweet, outspoken and smart. Though she can sing and is a real crowd-pleaser, she isn't talking television. "I'd like to run a nonprofit organization," Smith says. Between the new-school contestants and the transitional, it's hard to tell who has the best chance. But one thing is for sure: The skinny ditzes haven't got a prayer in the sequined heavens.

Tell that to the 50 anxious women here. This year's contestants the press lias been instructed not to call them girls, even though the young ladies call themselves girls are a mixed bag, representing three distinct camps: new, old and transitional. Following in Vincent's steps are the new contestants, the truly talented and academically accomplished who don't necessarily act like beauty queens. These are contestants like Miss Oregon Carolyn Helen Ladd, a lawyer with the National Labor Relations Board in Washington who is going for a master's in labor law at Georgetown. Or Miss Illinois Cheryl Lynn Majercik or Miss New York Marisol A.

Montalvo, both of whom came to pageanting late, and are professional singers. Try competing against them with a "medley of '40s standards. Many poor dears tried Tuesday and again last night, and were blown right off the Convention Center stage. Neither Majercik nor Montalvo looks like your old-fashioned beauty queen. To begin with, both are only 5-foot-2.

(The Amazons still tend to win swimsuit.) Montalvo, who won the preliminary talent competition Tuesday night, will tell you she's been called ugly much of her life. Majercik, winner of the $10,000 Fruit of the Loom Quality of Life Award for her AIDS work, got into pageanting to further her cause. "Miss America is perceived as safe and right and wholesome, while AIDS is perceived as a very dirty issue. If I can show that Miss America or Miss Illinois is not afraid of AIDS, then maybe there will be more compassion." Majercik is the first winner of the three-year-old award to donate the entire amount to her cause. She will establish a foundation to invest the money, and attract corporate grants, for Chicago House, an AIDS organization where she volunteers.

In the old tradition, you have contestants like Miss California Paige Adams, a statuesque blonde in the Susan Anton vein, who speaks of "being the best person I can be" and dreams of a career in broadcasting. "If I could have any job, it would be Mary Hart's," she says with a giggle. Or Miss Texas, the flawless Rhonda Rene Morrison, who wants to become Pew arts-grants forms available Guidelines and application forms for the first Pew Fellowships in the Arts will be distributed to interested artists at an informational meeting from 6 to 8 tonight in Haviland Hall of the University of the Arts, Broad and Pine Streets. Later this month, the guidelines will be mailed to more than 10,000 artists in the Philadelphia area. Beginning next year, the program will award up to 16 fellowships worth $50,000 annually to artists in 12 disciplines.

For 1991-92, the first in the three-year pilot program, artists working in sculpture, choreography, music composition and craft arts will be considered.
