Diano Marina at the Northern Coast of Italy is a small town place, yet with much luxury. It's able to fit three times into the nearby city of Monaco. The people, and the city itself, only come alive at sundown. The beaches are rich with deckchairs and employees fulfilled your wishes. It has become quite popular over the years for the wealthy families which seek rest and comfort in cities without bustle.
Cecilia (Cecil) van Burgh, born as the daughter of two business keepers, has spent seventeen years of wealth and luxury as she explored the nation. As a compensation for her parents' absence she visited the most breath-taking and extraordinary places. Luckily, the kindness in her heart was never bought. Ever since the age of five it began to be a family tradition to travel to the coast of Italy every two to five years. Unfortunately due to a crisis in her family and in her parents' company, Cecil wasn't able to visit her second home for a couple of years. Yet this year, she went on a trip she never saw coming.

That's Amore
In Tuscany, the air tastes of vino rosso and roses, and every evening feels like the beginning of a song. Isabella Marshall arrives at Villa delle Rosa expecting only a summer escape - a season of journals, quiet mornings, and the distant hum of village life. But under lantern-lit skies and firefly nights, she collides with Giuliano Moretti: stubborn, magnetic, and rooted to the vineyard like its oldest vines. What begins with clashes and stolen glances soon unfolds into Vespa rides through cypress-lined roads, laughter echoing in moonlit courtyards, and a kiss that feels like destiny whispered sempre. Yet beneath the beauty lies rivalry, family secrets, and the tug of America waiting across the sea. From feasts in the vineyard to festivals blazing with fireworks, Isabella must choose between the life she left behind and the dolce vita that has captured her soul. With roses blooming, Biscotto the golden retriever racing at her side, and love rising like lanterns into the Tuscan sky, That's Amore is a sun-drenched ode to passion, family, and the summer that changes everything.
