Rome. November 10, 1988.

“Dear Jean, what a shame not to have seen you when you were in Rome, but I hope that very soon you will have another opportunity to pass through here, and then I will have the opportunity to invite you to the studios on the Via Pontina , where I would be a prisoner until May, I believe. I will start filming on November 28 , but if you come before, I will still be here, adding the final touches to the film which will soon take off. Yes, Jacqueline has become a very dear friend, and I am happy that she lives in Rome to enjoy her fervor, her intelligence, her talent. She often talks to me about you, missing you. The Lebanese princess too, the beautiful Dominique, is a person for whom I have deep esteem and sympathy. Certainly, if you had stayed here it would have been very pleasant to be together in the delightful atmosphere of the Villa Medicis. I send you my warmest wishes, dear friend, for your exhibition in New York, and you would really make me very happy if I could meet you again as soon as possible. I send you a very friendly kiss, dear Jean. Your Federico »
