With the recent release of Eat Pray Love and the upcoming movie, the American with George Clooney, everybody's talking about their favorite movies that take place in Italy. I can't think of a better way to take a virtual vacation to Italy or get ready for your real Italian vacation than to watch spectacular scenes of Italy in the movies. These are my picks for Best Films to Get You in the Mood for an Italian Vacation.
Two of my colleagues were recently asked to talk about their five favorite Italian movies for Focus Features.

Really a nice list. I suggest:
1) “Stealing beauty” (Titolo italiano: Io ballo da sola) with Liv Tyler and filmed at Brolio, Gaiole in Chianti near Siena.
2) “Con gli occhi chiusi” di F.Archibugi filmed at Gaiole in Chianti, Radda in Chianti, Colle val d’Elsa e Siena.
