nice submitted by mmckenzie on June 25, 2017, 3:15pm Nice, but got spoiled after prior film.

Taking Chances and Living the Sensuous Countryside of Italy submitted by sVfGI7Glt2pz7GZgVB90 on August 20, 2020, 11:59am It's been >20 years since Mayes wrote of traveling to Italy from San Francisco following her marriage's dissolution. In the Tuscan hamlet of Cortona, she discovers a broken down villa. She painstakingly revives and names Bramasole, and ultimately, the solace of cooking and gardening heal her broken heart. Finding a new love and partner in her enterprise makes Mayes' journey all the more engaging.
