Synopsis: The American secretary Jane Hudson travels from Ohio to Venice. Jane is a middle-age single and lonely woman that have saved money for her dream trip. On the arrival, she immediately befriends the owner of the boarding house Signora Fiorini. During the night, she goes to a café and an Italian helps her to call the waiter. Jane feels sort of uncomfortable for being alone and on the next day, she sees a red glass goblet in the window of an antique store. The owner Renato de Rossi, who is the man that helped her, explains that it is an ancient goblet from the Eighteenth Century and therefore expensive; then he also explains that she should always bargain for a lower price in Venice.

way back, way way back in the back

of her mind

was something she was looking for....

What?

A wonderful, mystical, magical miracle.

To do what?

Beats me. I guess to find

what she's been missing all her life.

Well. I better take a shower.

Yes.

Gallaria at Dermania and the church of..

What is it?

They're all alike to me.

You should see the Bianelli.

Pardon?

That's the big artist.

If I have one more

look at a painting, I yip.

Excuse me, but

Mrs. Yaeger's husband is an artist.

Oh, well, say,

Pardon me, ma'am.

I don't understand pictures,

and I got bad feet to to standing.

I know how you feel.

When I first fell in love with Andy,

I just had to get to like pictures.

So I looked and looked,

and one day wonderful thing happened.

I knew what I was looking at. Kind of.

Would you have seen

any of Dieaga's painting?

He had a one-man show in New York.

He sold the painting to the Toledo Museum.

You must be very successful.

Successful?! That show was four years ago.

Well, come along.

Don't go. Let's have a drink.

I like to but

this nonsense is wrecking my digestion.

Pardon me, no disrespect for Tanniea.

You're always on the same line.

How to make friends and influence people.

I'm sure he

didn't know what he was saying.

Of course he didn't.

He is insensitive man. Has no heart. Not much.

He is one fool with miserable belly.

He probably likes French food.

I must say I did.

It's so refined. In ltaly,

you sit down to eat and eat a meal.

In Paris, you sit down, what do you eat?

A sauce.

In America, buy Mac, whatever it is,

he sits down,

What does he eat? Birds, only birds.

And you want me to get

excited about a man like that?

Good-by.

Have a drink.

No, thank you.

Drago? Is that right?

Right. C'mon, we gotta get going.

Cookie, have a drink.

That will do you good.

No thanks.

Drago before you go?

No, we're late for dinner.

We take you up on that drink, though.

Sure. Well, that leaves us.

Or does it? I guess it doesn't.

I'm dining with an old friend.

Would you care to come with us?

No, thank you.

When in ltaly, you should meet ltalians.

Mr. Ferstino is in the government.

Please join us.

Two is a company.

A sad sin.

Mr. Ferstino and I are,

for several years now,

We've been unexcited.

Well, pardon me.

Sure you won't have a short one?

I don't want it. Thank you.

May be I can persuade my self. Drago?

How do you pronounce that?

There are two people

back in the states I wish to hear.

They're darling couple.

Rather like the Yaegers, really.

Only older.

Not older than me.

Nobody is older than me.

I am. In ltaly, age is an asset.

If it is, I'm loaded.

Now you do have to go.

Are you sure you're not come with me?
