STEALING BEAUTY
Nineteen year old Lucy Harmon travels to Italy to stay with some old friends of her mother and to have her portrait painted. She herself have two motives. The first is to renew her acquaintance with Nicolo Donati, the handsome young boy whith whom she shared her first kiss four years earlier. And the second is to solve the riddle left in a diary written by her dead mother, Sara, a free spirit who was eager for experience but shy of responsability.
Whilst pursuing Nicolo, Lucy’s presence has a profound effect on the jaded emotions of her hosts and their houseguests, reminding them of the pain and pleasure of youth. Lucy’s innocence stirs up a whirlwind of sensuality which, by the time she has embraced the solution of her own riddle, has changed their lives.
