What a treat to be Zeffirelli's faithful and devoted friend, even for a moment. He was a great genious, even more for opera and theratre than for film. It was a great privilege.

I am speechless! And I feel now as if I have been part of the story too! You are a lucky man Eric!

Were there some people there who DIDNT want the book or who didn't want him to sign it?? Do you know what he wrote in the other dedications? I know you wouldn't sell it, but that book would be worth some CASH

Amazing story!! True and devoted friend to Zeffirelli gives you some serious Italian cred. I remember seeing his "Aida" at the Arena di Verona-- kind of a perfect setting for his over the top designs. The apartment looks exactly like I would have thought!
