How can I Combine Regular and Italicized Text in the same line in iText 7?

I have code like so to write out a line of text:

Paragraph parExecSummHeader = new Paragraph();
. . .
parExecSummHeader.Add("AUTHOR PROFILE ANALYSIS OF " + docNameOnly);

I want the value in docNameOnly to be italicized.

Based on an old post here (which apparently doesn't apply to iText 7), you can do it something like this:

Chunk chunky = new Chunk(docNameOnly, italicize);
parExecSummHeader.Add("AUTHOR PROFILE ANALYSIS OF " + parExecSummHeader.Chunky);

...but that doesn't seem to work with iText 7.

Does anybody know how to accomplish this bit of fanciness?

In iText 7 the Text class has replaced the Chunk class of iText 5. Thus, to add differently styled parts to a paragraph, use Text instances, e.g. like this

Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph();
paragraph.Add("AUTHOR PROFILE ANALYSIS OF ");
paragraph.Add(new Text("B. Clay Shannon").SetItalic());
doc.Add(paragraph);
