| Set in World War II era Italy, Tea with Mussolini follows the lives of a group of expatriate Englishwomen, first in Florence and then in the historic city of San Gimignano.
The events of this 1999 film are seen through the eyes of Luca, a boy under the guardianship of Mary Wallace, played by Joan Plowright. In the midst of their struggles in an increasingly hostile world, these aristocratic ladies take the time to guide Luca along his journey to manhood. The tower-city of San Gimignano is featured prominently in the filming when the group is forcibly relocated to quarters inside the city walls. The film is semi-autobiographical of its director, Franco Zeffirelli, and co-stars Cher, Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, and Lily Tomlin. Find more information about Tea with Mussolini on Wikipedia |
