The refurbishment of the local church is the catalyst to a whole string of problems for the renowned interior decorator, Bartolomeo Di Crespi. With a cast of larger-than-life characters, that wonderful warmth and chaos of the big Italian/American family and the various romantic complications, this is a pure delight. Highly recommended.
