The story of the feamle renaissance painter is by Susan Vreeland, the Passion of Artemisia. I didn't know it had been made into a movie, the book was good. Don't forget Summertime, Kate Hepburn in Venice. There's a dark comedy called For Roseanna, staring Mercedes Ruehl and Jean Reno that is great too.

Look on www.imdb.com for Artemisia. Might not be adapted form the Susan Vreeland book, since the credits list Patrick Amos, Agnès Merlet and
Christine Miller as writers.

I saw "My Mother's Smile," mentioned earlier, at the Film Festival. It has the power and authority of the great old Italian movies of the Fellini era, is set in modern Italy -- I recommend it completely. I guess you'd have to rent ot buy it on the Internet.

It's BIG, the kind of movie you could see several times.

Maybe it is mor italian tha naything else you have seen because it is actually an Italian movie, and not an American movie about how the Americans imagine Italy?
Have you ever seen any movie by any other Italian director, apart from "Pane e tulipani"?

"Everything Is Wonderful" is an Italian film about a lonely, Sicilian father who has a less than satisfactory relationship with his adult children who live all over the place so he hops on a train to visit them.
Several film locales including Milan.

Rondo:
That must be "Stanno tutti bene" with an aged beyond his real age Marcello Mastroianni. Probably one of the few decent movies made by Giuseppe Tornatore. If you liked it, you should check out for "La famiglia" by Ettore Scola, this time a travel in time and not space. The movie tells the history of a family in Rome since 1906 until 1986.
