*Synopsis: *Set in Florence and New York City in the 1980s, businessman
Victor Romano takes his family on an Italian vacation and instantly get
caught up in the allure of Italy.  Victor becomes enamored with the
beautiful opera singer Lucia yet struggles in the ways of romance.
Meanwhile, as Victor hesitates, his father Antonio and his daughter Amy,
seem to have no trouble adjusting to the lure of Florence and "Amore"
Italian style. Neither does Victor's Italian smooth talking gigolo cousin
Sergio, who falls for Lucia as well.

Through song and dance, Victor, Lucia and their families travel through
Florence and New York as they try to sort out this delightfully confusing
and comedic love triangle and somehow find love along the way.
