“Under the Tuscan Sun” (USA)
Given the name of the film, cinema fans would be surprised (and even upset) to find that the picture was shot not in Italy, but in a different place. The film contains many scenes that reveal the stunning landscapes of the regions of Salerno, Salenno, Campania, Toscana and, of course, the amazing beauty of the city of Florence (Firenze). Tuscany has the fame of a tourist center, which only intensified after the film was released.
The Talented Mr. Ripley, USA
What could be more Italian than relaxing on the beach with a bottle of Limoncello? It is likely that the plot of the film may seem too “twisted" for some, but the adventures of the heroes of Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jude Law in Italy are a great pleasure.

The gorgeous movie star Monica Bellucci, as well as the original local beauties make the “Passion of Christ” a true Italian film.
