At the same time Zeffirelli starts a collaboration with the Accademia Chigiana in Siena:
between 1946 and 1952 he designs sets and costumes for several operas directed by Ines
Alfani Tellini with the students of Scenic Art. In Livietta e Tracollo or La contadina astuta,
an opera buffa by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, Zeffirelli also appears as an actor.
