Claudia prende in giro l'America
By ??, photos by Richard Avedon, 6 pp
Claudia Cardinale was in California to make a movie and met protesting students,
housewives in supermarkets, Hells Angels and members of some
anonymous band. Pictures from the same sessions were published
later in October 1967 in US magazine Cavalier (which I don't have)
– "Claudia Cardinale on the California pop circuit". This
time Zappa and Mothers were mentioned.

J.Marcote: In an excusive interview to the
magazine Inteviu 1979 FZ mentioned "De la noche a
la mañana se empezó a valorar la música. ¡Si hasta el London Times
me pidió que posara junto a Claudia Cardinale para una fotografía!
-- cuenta Zappa en sus memorias de los primeros años--. Sé que
querríais que os explicara alguna aventurilla pos-fotografía, pero
no hay que comprometer el buen nombre de una dama italiana."
"From overnight the music began to be assessed. Even the London
Times asked me for to pose together with Claudia Cardinale for a
photograph, says Zappa remembering his first years. I know you would
like I tell you some post-photography affair, but there is nothing
to compromise the good name of an Italian Lady."

In
zapinfrance.free.fr is written:
"Le départ d'Elliot
Ingber (celui qui refile ses bottes à Claudia Cardinale le temps
d'une scéance photo) oblige FZ à assumer seul le rôle de guitariste..."
"The departure of Elliot Ingber (who offered his
boots to Claudia Cardinale for a photo session) requires FZ to be
the only guitarist ..."
Indeed.
Here is the photo by Alain Dister from August 1966 (taken from Urban
Gwerder's book Im Zeichen des magischen Affen)
with Elliot Ingber on the foreground. Now in Epoca you can see Claudia is wearing Elliot's boots. And Elliot itself is barefoot...
