I Love Italian Everything

Happy Valentines Day! 

Bread And Tulips – Pane e Tulipani
Rosalba: This is my son, Nicola. Nicola, this is Fernando.

Fernando: I realize that this situation appears bizarre, never-the-less I have come to reclaim your mother.

Nic: Why?

Fernando: Because I love her.

And my favorite movie line:

(from L’Uomo Perfetto, with Riccardo Scamarcio)
É strano, passi una vita inseguendo un sogno e poi ti accorgi che la tua isola felice era a un passo da te, che bastava allungare una mano per sentire l’onda che sfiora la riva e il tuo cuore che dice: siamo arrivati! Io sono arrivata finalmente, da qui in poi è un’altra storia.

(It’s strange, you spend your life following a dream and then you realize that your happy island is just a step away, and that all you had to do was stretch out your hand to feel the waves against the shore and your heart says, “We’re here! We’re finally here and from now on it’s another story.)
