    lovely
    Romance . It is the first conclusion and it is far to be wrong. But... . It is more. Because it is a sweet exploration of the second chance. Because...Tuscany, the real lead character. Because...lovely performances and the taste of coffee with few cinnamon flavor. And because, in many scenes, it could be your dream in facts. And, sure, because Diane Lane. So, just lovely.
