I just got done watching Grand Hotel Budapest - what a treat! My friend Marcia recommended it and the cast is just stellar. It made me think of movies in favorite locations - I watched it mainly because I'm going to Budapest in 2015 but anything Marcia recommends I'm game for. So what are my favorite movies regarding Italy and/or Sicily? I'd have to say Cinema Paradiso and Il Postino are my top two favorites, with Mediterraneo running a close third. Love all of them. So who out there has movies shot in your favorite locations?
I know my friends, Barb and Mike, in Palm Desert, loved Midnight in Paris because they are such Francophiles. Not to mention well-read.
Anyone else?
Find out and talk about medieval history, Sicily and the Mediterranean during the Crusades, food and culture, what did medieval people eat and drink (our sleuth is a tavern owner, after all!!) and what about money and trade? Spices and what about the streets of a medieval town after dark? And what about the women in medieval Sicily? What did they wear, eat, drink and how did they get married (or not)?
