In September 1943, when the German Army occupy Florence, young Zeffirelli does not enlist in the Fascist Army and joins the partisans on Mount Morello. It was in the Chianti countryside, not far from Siena, that in July 1944 his partisan group meets the First Battalion of the Scots Guards. Zeffirelli, who speaks rather good English, is “enrolled” as interpreter and follows the Battalion until the end of the War, in April 1945. Half a century later, he is invited to celebrate 50 years after the end of World War II with the veterans.
