| Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. "Tea with
Mussolini" (1999) is a semi-autobiographical film directed by Franco
Zeffirelli, telling the story of young Italian boy Luca's upbringing by
a kind British woman and her circle of friends. The film begins in
Florence, Italy, where a group of cultured expatriate British women -
called by the Italians the Scorpioni - meet for tea every afternoon.
Young Luca (Charlie Lucas) is the illegitimate son of an Italian
businessman. When Luca's mother dies, his father shows no interest in
his son's upbringing and Mary Wallace (Joan Plowright) steps in as his
guardian. Finding the task of bringing up a young boy alone daunting,
she turns to the Scorpioni women for support. Together, they teach Luca
many lessons about life. Mary acquaints him with the works of
Shakespeare and he is introduced to modern art by a rich, young,
attractive American widow, Elsa Morganthal Strauss-Almerson (Cher). |
