2. Arrival In Italy
Having arrived at their medieval castle in darkness, Lotty and Rose wake up to the radiance of April in Italy. Stars Pippa Nixon.
Having arrived at their mediaeval castle San Salvatore in darkness, Lotty and Rose wake up to the radiance of April in Italy.
A chance advertisement in The Times, addressed to 'Those who Appreciate Wisteria and Sunshine' is the impetus for a revelatory month for four very different women.
High above the bay on the Italian Riviera stands San Salvatore, a mediaeval castle. Beckoned to this haven are Lotty, Rose, Mrs Fisher and Lady Caroline Dester, each craving escape.
Lulled by the Mediterranean spirit, they gradually shed their skins and discover a harmony each of them has longed for.
