Opis

Postcards from a Tuscan Christmas is the warm and funny story of Americans in Italy. Postcards reveal the transformation of both the travelers and the villagers. Steve and Lexie Wright, Fort Wayne entrepreneurs, take a dozen of their friends and employees to Tuscany for a long Christmas vacation. The old hilltop village of San Michele de Greve is enchanting -- especially the 9th century church of Santa Maria Maggiore, where Lexie finds that a fresco of the Blessed Virgin is in serious need of restoration. In an unexpected twist, she finds a way to do that while also transforming the life of a villager. Romantic entanglements abound. The married Silvana lusts after the fashionable Trent Senser. Trent's best friend and roommate, Cricket, falls in love with Italy and with the handsome proprietor of Trattoria Paolo. Paolo's long-time girlfriend, Elena, will do absolutely anything to get her boyfriend back. The resulting love matches shock everyone. The journeys of both the American travelers and the Italian villagers end in ways no one could have expected -- as revealed in an hilarious wedding video.
