SUMMARY:American Movies Set In Italy
DESCRIPTION:Italy!  Italy is a beautiful country – the weather and the colors are as warm as the people. \nDiane Lane Glows “Under The Tuscan Sun” \nAmericans are welcomed in every part of the country.  Whether tourists want to admire the mountains or the sea\, visit great cathedrals\, sample from the world’s great vineyards\, or enjoy world-famous food and shopping\, \nSimple Pleasures in Rome Are Enjoyed In the Shadow Of Great Beauty In “Roman Holiday” \nItaly holds something special for everyone.  The American fascination with Italy extends to the movies.  Many great American films have been set against the backdrop of the fantastic physical beauty of Italy.  Filmmakers from William Wyler to Woody Allen and stars from Gregory Peck to Matt Damon have made classic films set in this most beautiful country. \n  \nIn this unique multimedia presentation\, we will explore some varied and unforgettable movies about Americans in Italy\, from beautiful romances (“Roman Holiday\,” “Summertime\,” “A Little Romance” to intense dramas (“The Godfather\, Part II\,” “The Talented Mr. Ripley\,”) to comedies (“From Rome With Love\,” “Avanti”) these movies offer both great storytelling and tremendous cinematic beauty. \n‘The Bridge of Sighs’ \nIn addition to hearing many fascinating insights\, I will watch numerous film clips.  This will help us discuss how Italy becomes a character in these great movies. \nCome and see if your favorite made the list!  For a glimpse at the wonders we will behold\, click here to read this short article about the beautiful legend of ‘The Bridge Of Sighs’ in Venice.  It is a central plot point in the sublime “A Little Romance”—one of the movies on our list! \nREGISTRATION: I suggest calling the senior center directly.  Their website can be a little difficult to maneuver. \n
