Starstruck in Piazza Navona

Our Tuscany adventure began with a 2-day detour to Roma before we headed north to Tuscany for a two-week stay at La Montalla in Contignano.

Friday night four of us went to Rome's Piazza Navona, spent some time strolling and had pizza and wine until we realized that there was a movie crew setting up for a movie shoot.  As it happens the movie is Woody Allen's newest endeavor called "Decameron Bop."   We watched the shooting of a scene that, if it doesn't end up on the cutting room floor, will be about 45 seconds in the film.  It took about 3 hours to set up and about one hour to shoot.  we got a glimpse of Director, Woody Allen and one of the supporting actresses, Ellen Page, supporting actor Jesse Eisenburg. Alec Baldwin and Penelope Cruz are also in the movie but they weren't in the Piazza that night.
