Once upon a time, Cesare Badoglio, who puts his age at "Between 80 and 99," was the spirit whisperer for some of the brightest talents in Italian fashion.
At his popular weekend events in Milan at the Hotel Verdi, Mr. Badoglio - tarot reader, astrologer, fortune teller - threw cards for Franco Moschino and Gianni and Donatella Versace, among others.
"You can't predict everything," Mr. Badoglio said recently, his eyes wet.
Though the Italian fashion world may have become marginally less superstitious since then, some style insiders still seek Mr. Badoglio's predictions.
Mr. Badoglio wears his white hair to chin length and favors striped shirts with zigzag sweaters or plaid blazers to fit in with the decorative riot of his Florence studio. Mr. Badoglio then spent three months entreating his cemetery spirits to undo the malediction, until Mr. Zeffirelli was able to begin filming again.
Mr. Badoglio's cards seem to continually forecast good luck, which may spur skepticism, even in those who come to him for a reading.
