What a wonderful villa. The surrounding property is idyllic and the town is everything you’d dream of! Congratulations Frances for getting out of the mold and taking a chance. For some reason when Frances (in the movie) put the sunflowers in the cup it really touched me. Strange how just a small thing like that can effect you.
Personally, I felt that Hollywood took too much freedom with the original story as Frances Mayes wrote it.....they had to "glam" it up and make more of romance out of it.....and the Polish bricklayer becoming a flag thrower in an ancient tradition was ridiculous......that just would never happen!!!
I loved this movie so much, this house & town is beautiful, best part of the movie is at the end! We forget the smaller things in life in which fulfill us!
Thank you so much for having this here! I am currently reading, "Thoughts of Home: Reflections on Families, Houses, and Homelands from the Pages of House Beautiful," a collection of essays I found at John K. King Books here in Detroit, MI. Had no idea among the pure magic packed into these 292 pages, I'd soon happen upon, "Under the Etruscan Wall" written by Frances Mayes about Bramasole before Under the Tuscan Sun. The beautiful idea of Bramasole made me research further, which is where I learned she is who she is today. What a fascinating, inspiring discovery that moment became for me! Thank you again for having this here. Looks like I have more reading to do!
Interesting to me is that yesterday I envisioned having an old house similar to this one. It was a bit austere, but had the same warm feeling of being at home within. I was surprised that I was content living in such and old structure, modestly updated to modern standards. Makes me wonder if living in Italy will become a reality for me. Wild to think about!
The book is wonderful - the movie typical Hollywood BS. Frances is a warm, witty writer and the person is equally charming. Cortona is my favorite place in all of Italy, and my wife and I are visible in the speaking engagement shot; which has nothing to do with my affection of her or there.

Love the movie. It made me feel like I want to go to Italy and start a new life. 💕💕
It's my go to movie when I feel like I had enough
and want to start over.
Maybe someday...
I'll buy me a small villa
somewhere idyllic in
europe. ❤
Lovely movie, the house, the town, the people, the food, the views, the sun, the ambience, the weather...

@@robertofantechi6330 The movie is perfect! I've lost count how many times I've watched it. It's such a perfect movie to escape in. ❤️🌞🌻🍷
Love both the movie and book for the reassurance that failure is not permanent

Wonderful! Gave me warm fuzzies. ❤
