Wonderful! You can’t put a price on experiences like that. And I’m a sucker for old-fashioned movies. I really want to get hold of Summertime!

After mentioning this to you, I just had to dig out my DVD and watch Summertime again. It really is just so beautiful. The central romance may seem a little old fashioned by today’s standards, but I still love it…and I really, really want to return to Venice and sip a coffee in Piazza San Marco with the orchestras playing gorgeous music all around me. I did it once and it cost a fortune, but worth every romantic penny.

Thank you so much for the movie recommendation (Lawrence is in my top 5 favourite films of all time). I confess that this film hasn’t been on my radar. What’s not to like about a Lean / Hepburn / Brazzi combo! :)

That should be Rossano not Rossini as my phone keeps correcting it to.

It’s not on Netflix or Amazon Prime, but can be bought on DVD. It’s a love story set in Venice with Katharine Hepburn and Rossini Brazzi. Venice has never looked more beautiful and timeless and romantic. David Lean said it was his favourite film, which, considering he also directed Lawrence of Arabia and Dr Zhivago is saying something. Well worth seeking out.

Thanks! Indeed. Friends have also highly rated the series but I confess I have yet to make time to watch it.
