- In the city -

There are many movies which the scene is laid in Florence; The movie like that I watched recently was "HANNIBAL". I have returned to my country and "HANNIBAL" was on show in Japan while I was staying there. My friend Japanese who stays in Florence appears on this movie in a moment to play the role of a tourist. It is slightly frightened and fhriller, but I yearned for the city of Florence. Recently a Japanese film was shot in Florence and it was on the screen. It is a love story "Calmi Cuori Appassionati". Florence harmonizes with the scene for both thriller and love story. There must be no difference on the street of Florence between now and 10 years from now. Do you think that one's love is the same in future and man can never forget to be in love after 10 years ? "Calmi Cuori Appassionati : Calmness of mind passionate" "Calmi Cuori Appassionati" is a Japanese love story and two books are in print. One is "Blu : Blue" which is written about love from the man's point of view. The author is Hitonari Tsuji. The other is "Rosso : Red" which is written it from the woman's point of view and the author is Kaori Ekuni. And then "Blu" is made into a movie. This film music is by Enya. I live in Florence now, so I can't watch this popular movie that the scene is laid in Florence. But I have read these two books. I was immersed in a romantic mood for two days. Campanile di Giotto These photos on the right are from top of the Giotto. The scene is very beautiful. 　 Why don't you take a walk in the citty of Florence? I want to watch this movie when I will come back to my country.
