I will always remember Christmas in Paris, riding on the back of your motorcycle and then April in Trastevere, being introduced to Caravaggio and to your perspective that anything was possible and everything was connected. We went our separate ways, but I'll always remember you. Sempre Mangia Zuccharo.

I can't imagine the MFAH without Peter. I enjoyed his warm hello, wonderful smile and sparkling eyes. He had a commanding presence and he was so knowledgeable about art and people.

Peter C. Marzio was a very interesting man.He had great sensitivity for art. He loved and recognized of art as the ultimate human experience and activity. He could be moved to tears by art. He had the brilliance to think outside of conventions and a tremendous force of will and energy to materialize his vision of art for all people. I will miss him greatly. My condolences to everyone who loved and respected this wonderful man.

Peter Marzio was a great director for the Houston Museum and a great human being. The museum will continue to thrive after him because of his visionary leadership. As a former Houstonian and artist I have always had great respect for him. Gay Block, Santa Fe.
