Under the Tuscan Sun
Before there was Eat , Pray , Love , there was Under the Tuscan Sun — the story of a woman , who suddenly finds herself beginning a new life in the small Tuscan town of Cortona after her marriage falls apart . If you ’ re anything like us , Googling “ Tuscan villas for sale ” will become a regular part of your life after watching this film . As we watch Frances ( Diane Lane ) renovate her gorgeous new house and take day trips to the Amalfi Coast , the thought of dropping everything to move to Tuscany suddenly doesn ’ t seem so ridiculous . Frances does just that and ends up falling madly in love , and not just with the jaw-dropping countryside . This place lives up to all the hype that surrounds it and will make you want to leave home and buy a vineyard in some small Italian village . You won ’ t find shots of northern Italy as serene as the ones in this feel-good film about independence , love , and friendship . For the romantics out there , this is one of the best travel movies . Wouldn ’ t you just love to buy a villa in Tuscany and fall in love with a stranger ?
