Bread and Tulips is a really good one, esp. for scenes in Venice.
The Talented Mr. Ripley with Matt Damon, Jude Law and Gwenyth Paltrow is a pretty dark, bleak movie but the scenes of Mangiabello (sp?), Rome, Venice and San Remo are great.

I got Bread and Tulips, Cinimea Paradiso, Under The Tuscan Sun and The Talent Mr Ripley.
I really enjoyed Bread and Tulips (great story loved it), I am only part way throught Cinimea Paradiso which I am loving. I liked under the Tuscan Sun and I had seen The Talented Mr Ripley before but had paid no attention to the location or the language, this time I enjoyed it in a different way.
Can't wait for another wet weekend to get some more recommendations

I think some of the scenes in The Talented Mr R are on the lovely (was there in June!) islands of Ischia and Procida, in the Bay of Naples.
I agree w/ you Tiff -- still love Enchanted April, esp on a gloomy day.

Annabelle2, I believe most of the scence in The Talented Mr Ripley were shot in Ischia. I will be going there in June got any recommendations for things to do and see. We will be staying for 2 nights.
My House in Umbria and Enchanted April are now on my list.
Thanks

We stayed 4 nights on Ischia. It was quite magical. If you click on my name and look for some past threads about Ischia, I got a lot of good information about the island from other fodorites.
Let me know if you find this thread, and if any of the information is helpful. I would be happy to give details on anything that strikes your interest.
We really enjoyed Ischia!

This thread has me thinking about another old one, set in Florence, I believe. American's daughter and wife are kidnapped in US, and years later, the daughter, who looks like the mother, is planted in Florence to lure him into thinking he's seeing ghosts when visiting, etc. Cigale, I think you know the name of this one--it's been mentioned here before. Probably same era as Don't Look Now.
