Franco Zeffirelli's dream to entrust his own artistic heritage to his hometown has finally been realized.Considering his impressive works full of documents, signed proofs, book collections and artworks of his artistic repertoire; it will be possible to realize his ambitious project to convert the "Franco Zeffirelli" International Centre for Performing Arts into a magnificent "observatory" where future generations of performing artists will be observed and trained closely. All these artistic activities will be performed through organized events, national and international performances, training workshops and frequent exhibitions.The Centre will be held in "Complex San Firenze" in San Firenze Square; owned by the City of Florence, which is the best location to show and reflect various performances organized in Florence every year and it perfectly matches with the historical and artistic tradition of the city. Its tradition, during the Renaissance age, thanks to "Camerata de' Bardi group, has given birth to melodramas or "singing plays" which has brought back the ancient Greek drama whom Franco Zeffirelli is considered one of the greatest performers and innovators."Franco Zeffirelli" International Centre for Performing Arts aims to make Zeffirelli's heritage more accessible to a wider audience consenting to interact with those materials by prominent figures who have helped to develop prose theatre, lyrical opera belonging to cinema from the beginning of XX century. In this prospective of comparing different models and training methods, the program of cultural diffusion of the Centre is based on tutorial activities in every practice together with monographic and repertoire exhibitions, frequent shows, documentaries, interviews, and specific workshops organized by Italian and International Professors and specialists.
