The cathedral at the Duomo, the Uffizi Gallery, the Ponte Vecchio.
Okay, then what are you gonna do on your second week?
Florence and Europe are a lot more than what's in guidebooks.
I'm up for whatever's free.

-[exhales] -[Sloane] Oh, wait!
My other number, at the bar.
Piece of advice.
Avoid Americans. You'll never experience Florence if you hang out with only them.
Okay. [chuckles]
No Americans.
[sighs]
[gasps]
Oh. I thought we had a third.
-I'm Caroline. -Amy.
I'm a legacy at Emory and a third generation Alpha Phi.
Brown undergrad. Georgetown Law.
I'm Lindsay. Mount Holyoke.
Amy.
Uh, you got last dibs on the room. Yours is back there.
[exhales]
[chuckles]
[professor] For the next six weeks, we will work back from the David
beginning at the inception of the Renaissance.
Who here has heard of the Stendhal syndrome?
Artists went crazy from so much beauty.
Unbearable, powerful beauty.
And believing they would never make anything as beautiful,
they would throw themselves off the Ponte Vecchio to end it all.
This is why it's imperative that you find your own voice while you're here.
I'm interested in originality.
In real vision.
This is what we'll be looking for when we select a few students
to showcase their studio work in a gallery at the end of the program.
Submit your best work. Be brave.
[line ringing]
[clicks]
-[woman] Hello. -Hey, Zora, it's me.
Is everybody there?
It's Dad's Labor Day barbecue. The whole damn neighborhood is coming.
[chuckles]
They still mad?
They're trying to be supportive,
but you know nobody around here understands paying to learn about art.
So, yes.
No, not mad. More like dismayed.
Dad, it's Amy calling from Italy!
[father] If it's about money, tell her no.
[Amy] Just tell him I said it's only for six weeks.
Law school is still gonna be there next semester.
I'm gonna go back.
And I'm not gonna be asking them for any money.
I'm covering this.
I'm gonna let you put all that on a postcard.
I love you.
Bye.
You sure you want this job?
It's the only way that I can afford to be here in Florence.
Just don't tell anyone, okay? Like, no one.
The Italian Guardia di Finanza are like the lovechild of the IRS and the FBI.
They will shut me down.
They live to hunt down lavoro nero.
[in Italian] Black work?
[in English] Please tell me that means working in the dark or...
Here it just means working off the books.
-Oh. Okay. -[Sloane] Let's get you some fresh air.
We need more vodka anyway. We can borrow some from my friend Maurizio's bar.
And I wanna hear if you took any of my advice.
[Amy sighs] Oh.
A lot of these guys like to shower American girls with gifts.
I'm just having fun, Sloane. Trust me. I know how to take care of myself.
Why work when you could play? Then you won't have to clean toilets.
Surely you didn't come to Florence to slave away at some...
I just meant you could find someone who would...
I came here to see and experience art.
To try things I may never get to again in my life.
I came here to have...
have my own renaissance.
It's not about a man.
Trust me, the last thing I want is to try to find love while here.
Who said anything about "love"?
[Amy] Oh!
-[speaking Italian] -Ciao.
[speaking Italian]
Sì.
[speaks Italian]
Uh... [speaks Italian]
Uh, how do I find myself?
-How are you enjoying Florence? -Right. Certo.
Um... [speaking Italian]
[chuckles]
[speaking Italian]
[laughs]
-[laughing] -What did I say?
[Lino chuckles] Uh...
You said something about, uh, the streets.
-And the churches and the bus. -Yeah.
Then you said you're not a nice person.
Oh, wow.
[laughing]
Okay. And that's fun for you, pretending not to speak any English?
-Nice shoes. -[Sloane speaks Italian]
He's a chef.
Ciao.
["Tu mi porti su" by Giorgia playing]
Grazie.
And, yep, I am the only one.
I promised my mom I'd call before Touched by an Angel.
I gotta go. Send shea butter.
If the eye is the window of the soul,
today I wanna see your soul.
Don't give me Michelangelo. Give me you.
Non voglio fare sesso. That means, "I don't wanna have sex."
How do you say, "Just the tip"?
[Amy] Per piacere, un cappuccino.
Ecco qua. No, è già pagato.
Scusa.
[snapping fingers] Questo l'ha pagato lui. Pagato. Lui.
Grazie.
-Ciao. -Giancarlo.
-Piacere. -Amy. [sighs]
-[exhales] Sei americana? -Yes.
I mean...
Sì.
You are, uh, here to study art?
Isn't every American? [chuckles]
Maybe some, but...
none as beautiful as you.
So, Amy, tell me.
Who is your... your favorite Italian artist?
Well, uh... Michel...
Michelangelo, of course.
And, uh...
Some other ones...
[laughs]
A proposito, listen, my family owns a gallery.
It's close by. You should come.
Hmm?
Okay.
["Elastico" by svegliaginevra playing]
[Giancarlo] Veramente, tre settimane?
Ciao. Ciao, ciao, ciao, ciao.
-Thank you for inviting me. -Of course.
[sighs] Wow.
It's just the technique, you know,
the chiaroscuro, that dance with the light and dark.
[Giancarlo] Sì, brava.
You know, Amy, I have a friend who lives in Caravaggio's very first studio.
To see the light there
is to understand how he painted the way he did.
Can I see it?
[gasps]
[Giancarlo] It was this very light that inspired so much of his work.
[Amy gasps]
-This is... -Something very few people get to see.
But a rare beauty
deserves rare beauty.
[muffled dance music playing]
-[chattering] -[laughing]
The chef.
-Lino, yes. -Amy.
How could I forget?
I see you changed your shoes.
I was tired of them.
Yeah, I'm not interested.
[chuckles]
It's for my friend.
Oh. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I'm just here for my pay.
Um, Sloane.
Remind me why I can't get paid during the day.
Same reason I don't leave cash in the bar overnight.
In Italy, we have a saying,
"Opportunity makes the thief."
Which makes me a target walking home with a wad of cash.
Let him walk you home then.
-Huh? -Let him walk you home.
It would be my honor to escort you.
Is this your attempt to make up for laughing at me when we first met?
[laughs] Okay, let me begin again.
What food do you enjoy most in Italy?
-So this is chef small talk? -Mm-hmm.
I have a weakness for cornetti.
Come on, but that's a doughnut.
You... you do realize you're in the country known for the best food.
I thought the French were known for the best food.
You don't want the French to make you pasta.
Every meal begins and ends with butter and potatoes.
If I ever make it to Paris, I might disagree with you.
So one trip to Paris will make you a food critic, right?
-Wow. -[exhales]
-That's the problem with the Americans. -Are you always this charming?
[laughs] Before Paris, you should try real Florentine food.
Have you ever been to Paris?
[Lino] No. I never left Italy, actually.
-[Amy] So you know about everything then? -About Italy, yes.
-Okay, um, then what's this? -Oh.
Well, you have a good eye.
It is said that Dante met Beatrice here. The love of his life.
One of the most beautiful love stories of all time.
Really?
I said, "It is said." [chuckles]
-It was a long time ago. How would I know? -Why is your English so good?
-I studied to be a translator. -Of books?
It was the only way I could leave my small town.
In the end, it was just an excuse to find my way to work in a kitchen.
So you went to school to translate books, but now you're a chef.
But my father, um... [exhales]
It wasn't what he really wanted for me.
-Hmm. I get that. -Yeah.
More than you know.
[Lino] It was my mom who gave me a love of cooking, you know.
She taught me at her knee when I was a boy.
[Amy] Hmm.
[sighs]
You can't imagine how different Florence is from where I grew up.
Texas.
That's right.
The land of Lightnin' Hopkins and Freddie King.
[chuckles] Okay, Mr. "I Don't Like America."
Hey, come on, that's blues.
-Ciao, Dulai. -Ciao, Lino.
[Lino] I mean, America did at least one thing right.
Or maybe two.
Uh...
Grazie.
-Kiss. -What?
"Baci" means "kisses."
No, thank you.
And your name.
"Ami."
In Italian, it evokes love.
It's "Amy."
It's short for "Amahle."
Which is Zulu from South Africa, and it means "beautiful one."
[Lino] Yes, it does.
[Amy laughs] Okay.
-Well, that wa... -Hey...
-It wasn't... [laughing] -Is it...
I have to admit, that was... that was a lot better than taking the bus.
Thank you, Lino.
Prego.
Oh, here you go.
This is me.
Buonanotte.
Bye.
There's some guy who smells like garlic downstairs asking for you.
[Amy] Hi.
[chuckles]
Uh, I'm sorry. I tried the buzzer.
Oh, it doesn't work.
Ta-da!
Now you don't have to ride the bus.
[gasps]
-I can't accept this. -No, it's a gift.
-It looks brand-new. -No. [chuckles]
No, eh, it's, um, actually, um,
found.
-It's the Florentine way. -So you're a chef and a bicycle thief?
That is one of my favorite movies of all time.
-[exhales] -I don't know how to thank you.
Allow me to cook for you at my restaurant.
I'm seeing someone, Lino.
Well, I wouldn't dream a woman like you would be without a someone.
But please, come as my guest.
Sì?
Oh, and they can come too, if you like.
[chuckling]
[woman speaks Italian]
Yes.
-[speaks Italian] -Che meraviglia!
Uh, the beautiful one.
Uh, Lino told me about you. L'americana?
-Sì, americana. -Sì.
[speaks Italian]
Come, friends, please. Come.
[chuckles]
Thank you.
-[woman speaks Italian] -Hey, this is pretty cool.
It sure is.
-Uh, water? Frizzante? -[Amy clears throat]
-[Lindsay] Mm-hmm. Yeah. -[Amy] Sì. Grazie.
-May we see a menu, please? -Eh, no.
Eh, you eat the menu.
Tutto.
I think she's saying we'll have a taste of everything.
-Brava, sì. -Gracias!
Okay, it's "grazie."
-Did you learn one word in Italian? -What, are you fucking this guy now too?
-My God, Lindsay. -[Lindsay laughs]
She's dating that, um, John what's-his-name.
-[Lindsay] Giancarlo. -[Caroline] Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
-Lino's my friend. -[Lindsay] Right.
A friend who hooks you up with a bike and a prime table?
-Yes. -[laughing]
[Lindsay] Here's to friends!
["Nel blu dipinto di blu" by Malika Ayane playing]

-If you keep coming here. -[Caroline] Oh, my gosh.

-Chica. -Ciao! Bye-bye!
-Make good choices. -[laughing]

I don't think any of us have ever eaten this well. [chuckles]

-[car door opens] -Amy!
-[Amy] Hi! Hi! -Hey!
Oh, it's ten o'clock already.
You say no hello to me?
-No, no, no. Hi. -Ciao, bella. Huh?
-I said I would pick you up here, no? -Mm-hmm.
-Oh, okay. -Yeah.
-[speaks Italian] Huh? -[Amy] Okay.
Ciao.
-Bye. -[engine turns over]
We're almost halfway through the program, and I was wondering...
How am I doing with my work?
Well, I appreciate your question,
but this is something only you can answer.
I just need to know if...
if you think that any of my work might be good enough for the show.
Or...
if there are ways you think I should be improving my form...
[speaks Italian]
-[sighs] -I'm sorry.
I'm telling you... [grunts]
...to look up
instead of down at the paper you sketch on.
Or rather, look in.
I think you're going to look back one day
and understand yourself in whole new way
because of the choices you're making as a young woman right now.
And maybe this finds its way to a canvas.
Maybe not.
Either way,
you'll bloom.
[telephone ringing]
[grunts]
Pronto.
Girl, "pronto" sounds like an off-brand tomato sauce they sell at Kroger.
Z! [laughs]
-How was the big move to LA? -[woman] Z, baby.
-Where's your grown folks' music at? -Wait.
-Is that...? -[Zora] Your mother? Yes.
She flew to LA last night.
-She and Ron split. -Oh.
She booked a retreat at an ashram in Topanga for silent meditation,
which I've encouraged her to get a head start on.
-The silent part. -Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh! [chuckles]
[panting] I'm great, Amahle.
I'm free of the bullshit.
I'm finally free of the romantic industrial complex
telling women to put more focus on any relationship
than the one that they have with themselves.
Mom, can you please put Zora back on?
And... and, baby,
I know you wanted to study art in white-ass Europe,
unlike Mary's daughter, who's on that Fulbright in Kenya.
But you listen to me.
Don't get out there and fall for some Disney princess castle shit.
You hear me?
I mean, Mary's girl is dating a PhD in Nairobi.
Now, you know that's some different shit. If that ain't...
I was not done. I am talking. Where... okay, zen.
Wouldn't be Mom if she wasn't contradicting herself
eight different ways on a single call.
Another split?
-Is she okay? -She will be.
She's had practice.
God, I hope we make better choices than they did.
Not being halfway through a bottle of Hennessy right now is a good start.
-[chuckles] How's the new gig? -It's fine.
I'm supposed to be finishing lesson plans right now, but, you know...
Now, you know them Destiny children
would want a brother to stop saying their name. Okay?
Whatever. [laughs]
What's up with you, girl?
This place has me questioning if I have real talent.
Uh, we all know you can draw, Amy.
Just like I can play "Wind Beneath My Wings" on the piano.
That's the thing. You never play the piano anymore.
And I don't want art to be, like, this thing that I just did once.
[laughing] You better go.
Oh, Lord, Mom just found my Chaka Khan albums.
I gotta go back to divorcée duty.
Oh, Dad and Maxine got their tickets to come see you.
He's trying to see how much barbecue sauce he can fit in his luggage.
You will smell him before you see him.
[laughing]
-Love you. Bye. -[beeps]
Mom.
-Can you stop going through my stuff? -No, I can't.
I made out with Neneh Cherry in that dress after one of her shows.
She actually invited me to go on tour with her.
[Amy] What do you know about Lino?
Um, let me think.
We got to Florence around the same time,
so six years since he came from Sicily to work.
I thought he came here to study.
I can't remember. Maybe.
Probably. If he did, I can't imagine it was easy.
It's hard for them here.
Them who?
Sicilians.
Sicily is not like the rest of Italy. It's a north-south thing.
And southern Italy is a world away from here.
Like a whole other culture.
-They're often seen as outsiders. -Hmm.
-I know something about that. -Why are you asking about Lino?
-[exhales] -[Lino] Ciao!
Patrizia is asking if we might borrow, um...
[snaps fingers] ...a bottle of Prosecco.
A bottle of Prosecco?
[speaks Italian]
[Lino exhales]
I can't stop thinking about that dinner.
-[sighs] -It was...
[exhales]
It was art.
I express myself through food. Sì.
[clicks tongue] I didn't mean to rush that night.
It... it's just that, um, Giancarlo...
-[chuckles] -Well, he and I...
In Italy, we have a saying,
"Love rules without rules."
Of course you do. Let me guess.
It's part of your national anthem.
[Lino exhales]
So we're friends though, right?
We're something.
And a friend can show another friend all around Florence.
Sì.
-And if you don't fall in love with me... -Oh! [chuckles]
...at least you will fall in love with Florence.
Okay.
["La musica non c'è" by Coez playing]
Ciao.
Okay.
[chattering]
[inaudible]
[laughing]
[speaks Italian]
Okay.
Grazie.
You're not gonna buy it?
I don't know.
[Amy] I have to get a piece into that show.
Then maybe my dad will see me as an artist.
What? [chuckles]
["Today I Saved the World" by 5 Alarm playing]
[Lino] Wow.
This one.
This one I really love.
Is this from our night together?
How come you never talk about Sicily?
[Lino] Well, Sicily's an enigma.
That doesn't really answer my question.
Okay, then let me say that we say,
"When God made Sicily, he made an absolute paradise."
"And then, to balance it out, he made Sicilians."
[Amy laughs]
[gasps]
[Lino] Okay, let's eat.
[speaks Italian]
In the States, we usually eat the salads first.
Hmm. True innovation.
[scoffs]
What's wrong?
[exhales]
How much vinegar did you use?
I... I used the aged balsamic.
Well, at least it's only in the salad.
Okay. Don't worry.
With me, you will always eat well.
[Amy exhales]
Do you have pasta here and some garlic?
-I make us something new. -Okay.
I have this one, and then I have fusilli.
And then the... the garlic is right there.
Sì. Grazie.
-[stove clicks] -[Amy sighs]
I only have two weeks left in Florence.
I can't believe how close I came to...
[sighs] going back to law school instead of coming here.
My parents.
[sighs] Well, my dad, who will be here this week,
for him, it's very important that I have the right degree, the right job.
I guess it just means, you know, security, safety.
Do you know why Florence has the most amazing works of art?
Florence sits in a valley,
so it's vulnerable to attacks.
Back in the centuries. No military force.
But then they thought,
if we create the most beautiful buildings, most incredible art,
then people will think we're wealthy.
And they would never attack a city that obviously has a big army.
So, beauty can provide safety.
[Amy] Cheers, Daddy.
[glasses clink]
It's a Campari and soda. It's like, um, like an aperitivo.
It's a drink before dinner to open up the appetite.
When have I ever had to have my appetite opened?
-Just try it, Daddy. -[sniffs]
Hmm!
Okay. So.
About school, Amahle.
You need to come up with a clear plan for what's next.
You know, Amy, I think this art program agrees with you.
I mean, you've always done things your own way, but I don't know.
You just seem more sophisticated. Happy, even.
These people got you thinking you're the next da Vinci?
Dad, you do know that da Vinci isn't Italy's only artist?
And you just evaded my question.
What are your plans for next semester, Amahle?
You said that Georgetown was holding your spot.
-You can just jump in where you left off... -Do we have to talk about this now?
Here? Or at all?
I'm basking in Florence, Dad.
I'm discovering and living and learning.
What aren't you telling me, Amy?
Why don't you wanna talk about going back to law school?
Because I met somebody.
[laughing]
[chuckles]
And who might that be?
His name...
His name is Giancarlo.
Hmm. Young fella.
I'm gonna need a little something stronger than this.
-Dad. -You got any bourbon?
[laughs] Dad, look at me.
It's not that serious.
I wanna meet him.
Sure, yes.
He's actually a good person to show you a city after we have dinner.
Hmm. That sounds lovely.
Well, I hope you know someplace good, because I saved up a ton
of Weight Watchers points for this trip. [exhales]
I might know a place.
[Maxine] It's nice.
-This way, Dad. This way. Yeah. -This way?
I know, right?
[in Italian] He looks like something out of a movie.
[father sighs]
-[in English] Salute, you guys. -[Maxine] Salute.
[father] Ooh!
[gasps]
[Maxine] Oh, my goodness.
[Amy] Looks delicious.
-Yes! -[Maxine] Mmm-mmm-mmm!
Oh, yes.
-Daddy, look. -Wow. Now we're talkin'.
I'm sure he's gonna show up soon.
-It's fine. -[father] The food's good.
-It sure is. -[Amy] It's the best in Florence.
-[laughs] Hi. It was so good. -Ciao.
Ciao. I'm Lino. It's a pleasure.
Oh, so, you're the cook here?
-He's a chef, Daddy. -Well, the food is amazing.
-Grazie. -[laughs]
-Nice to meet you, sir. -Yes... hey!
-I just met you, man. -[laughing]
[Lino] Pleasure.
-So, uh, Amy tells me you're a lawyer. -[Maxine] Hmm.
And that you've been working for civil rights.
Oh, and that you even met Mr. Martin Luther King once.
I... I read "Letters from a Birmingham Jail."
In Italian, of course.
-I loved it. How was Mr. King? -Dr. King.
And I was just a teenager.
Oh. But did he influence your work?
Well, he influenced everyone, son.
Daddy...
[inhales] Uh, tell me, um...
How did you... how did you come to work in the kitchen, son?
I mean, uh, you got any school in you?
-[Amy] Dad. -You got a degree?
Uh, "school in me"?
He's asking if you spent time in university.
[Lino] Oh. Sure, sure, yes. I've been to university.
I studied, uh, poetry and translation. Yes.
But unfortunately, I didn't finish.
Studied poetry.
Didn't finish.
Lino, did you grow up in Florence?
Uh, no. Um, I'm from a very small town in Sicily.
Amy. Scusa.
-I'm so sorry. Ciao. -[Amy] No, no.
[in Italian] Sparkling water, please.
-[in English] Giancarlo. Nice to meet you. -[Maxine] Hi.
[Giancarlo kisses, laughs]
-Giancarlo. Piacere mio. -How are... [exclaims]
-[chuckles] -[Giancarlo] Okay.
I'm so sorry. [groans]
-I was, uh, held up at the gallery. -No, it's okay.
[Giancarlo sighs]
So, your father is like a real, uh, Texas cowboy, huh?
You have, uh, horses and, uh, cows too?
[father laughs]
I have a doctorate in jurisprudence is what I have.
-[Amy exhales] -[Giancarlo] Okay.
[father] I don't know what that was last night.
The fancy one showing up late, talking big all night.
And the other one, old Chef Boyardee...
Lino's just a friend, Dad.
Who's clearly sweet on you.
And to answer your question.
-I don't like either one of 'em. -Great.
Let me give you some advice.
You can love many people in this life,
but the trick is to find someone who you can love and live with in peace.
And...
[scoffs]
I don't think you're gonna find that
halfway around the world with men who are nothing like you.
I don't think that's true, Dad.
It really doesn't matter because you're coming home soon anyway, right?
I didn't pay all this money for you to be running around the world.
-Trying to find yourself. -Actually, I paid for this.
I did this.
I finally gave myself the chance to connect with a part of me
that I've been ignoring for way too long.
What are you talking about?
I wanna be an artist, Dad.
I want beauty in my life.
You can do your art in your free time. Ain't nobody stopping you.
I'm not going back to law school.
I'm moving to LA.
I wanna make art as my job.
You done let these people get to your head.
Smokey Robinson was right.
"Travel is a fool's paradise."
-Dad, that's Emerson. -Well, whoever it was, was right.
Look... look around you.
This is not your real life, Amy.
[Amy huffs]
Hi.
Look, um...
I know that last night was... [exhales]
[sighs]
I got you this notebook. The one that you liked from the flea market.
I thought you wanted your family to meet me.
But you brought Giancarlo here, to my restaurant, Amy.
-I know. He was just a distraction... -And me? What am I?
No, sul serio, tell me what I am to you. Because right now I don't know.
Either you're ashamed of me...
-No! -...or I'm not good enough for you.
-[scoffs] -[gasps] I don't have an art gallery.
I'm not educated. I cook. That's me.
And I cook
because it makes me happy.
And alive.
[speaks Italian]
He had my food.
In my restaurant with your family.
I'm so sorry.
Amy, I like you.
And I think you like me too.
That's why you came to the restaurant last night.
I... I feel something here.
Like no other time before.
I think we can be something great.
[exhales]
[Lino exhales]
Okay.
[Amy gasps]
Ho capito.
[Amy sighs]
[Lino] Uh...
I think we shouldn't spend any more time together.
For me, it's...
it's easier.
Lino.
Just please take this.
Please.

[Amy] Zora, I broke up with him last night.
[Zora] Oh, what about Lino?
[Amy sighs]
I don't even know him. Not... not really.
Well, you just said you feel sick when you think of never seeing him again.
No one just bumps into their potential soul mate
on a street corner in a foreign country.
Unless God has a cruel sense of humor.
-Uh, he does. -The program's over.
And I'm leaving in two days.
Come on, Zora.
You and I both know this shit never works out.
This fairy-tale love.
Those kind of stories aren't for girls like us.
Well, what if this ain't a story, Amy?
-What if this is just your life? -[exhales]
Brava, Amy.
[Lindsay] Applause, Ame.
Ames, you got more out of this program than the rest of us put together.
[gasps] Can you excuse me, guys, for a moment?
[exhales]
-[door opens] -Lino.
[door closes]
Lino, wait.
[exhales]
Were you just gonna leave?
-[sighs] -Why didn't you say hello?
I didn't want to ruin your big night.
-[Amy sighs] -[Lino] Look, the way we left things...
Um... [clicks tongue]
I'm just glad I got to see you again.
To say a proper goodbye.
[Amy exhales]
Please come by the apartment tonight after work.
-I'll watch by the window and let you in. -[door opens]
Amy, I want to introduce you to some people.
They're waiting.
Okay.
[door opens]
-[closes] -Please come.

[thunder rumbling]
[rain pattering]
[sighs] Our story doesn't have to end here.
[sighs]
My flight leaves in three hours.
People eat all over the world.
What exactly do you have in mind?
