You may use a view which adapts Person() objects:

 <div tal:content="structure context/person/@@defaultview" />
 
You have to define e view for Person() like this:

*browser/configure.zcml*
[...]
   <page
      for="..interfaces.IPerson"
      name="defaultview"
      template="mypersontemplate.pt"
      [...]
   />
[...]

Don't forget to allow access to you Person()-class (e.g. via configure/class/allow).
