The Zeffirelli Bookshop is located on the ground floor, opposite the entrance. In addition to a rich selection of objects inspired by the works of Franco Zeffirelli, the Bookshop collects an important collection of volumes divided into two thematic sections.

Then there is a second section containing the volumes pertaining to Franco Zeffirelli’s works, including his autobiography, translated into several languages, and the DVDs of his works. In particular, the following are available: The Complete Opera of Zeffirelli in Italian and English, the catalogue of the Zeffirelli Museum, Zeffirelli at La Scala, Zeffirelli in Arena, Zeffirelli at the Met, The art of mise en scène, and various volumes on his set designs.
