Franco Zeffirelli
A profile of Franco Zeffirelli, drawn exclusively from material stored in the RAI's Teche archives. Zeffirelli's career has spanned most of the performing arts, from opera to theatre, from cinema to TV, from ballet to set design, not to mention his acting on stage, film and studio in his youth. A rich and at times controversial career it has been, thoroughly documented in dozens of radio and television interviews, specials, backstage clips, award ceremonies in Italy and aboard. What emerges is the portrait of a complex artist, brimming with curiosity and intelligence, ever evolving, and gifted with endless creativity. The profile unfolds chronologically, starting from Zeffirelli's childhood in Florence, the turning point of his encounter with Luchino Visconti, up to his most recent film, Callas Forever.
