Ardent fans around the world might curse me for combining a lighthearted scene from the 2003 film version of Under the Tuscan Sun, loosely based on Francis Mayes' bestseller, and a captivating scene from New Moon, the second book of the popular Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. But as a fan of both, in addition to being an American writer living in Italy, the comparison came about innocently while New Moon the movie was under production. I got caught up in the Internet blurbs over where to film the Italian scenes of New Moon, released November 2009. When official word got out Montepulciano was chosen over Volterra, the actual Tuscan village featured in the book New Moon, the scenes I imagined while touring each town collided and melded in my mind.
