romcom

TUCKED away in the Tuscan countryside is a tiny town called Pienza – and it is about to get a lot more famous.

The small town was the used to film Netflix movie You, Me and Tuscany.

It features in the scene where Anna (Halle Bailey) first meets Michael (Regé-Jean Page).

Anna accuses him of stealing the sandwich which she travelled more than 4,000 miles to eat – and it was filmed outside a shop in Pienza dressed to look like a deli.

It’s apt that a romantic comedy was filmed in Pienza as the town is known for having love-themed street names.

A few are Via dell’Amore which translates into ‘love street’ and Via del Bacio which is ‘kiss street’.

Pienza sits within the Val d’Orcia valley which is known for its rolling green fields and has been described as “a charming little town” by visitors.

One of the most impressive buildings within the town is Piccolomini Palace which was built in 1459.

The impressive Renaissance building has a beautiful garden with views of Val d’Orcia, later becoming a summer residence for Pope Pius II.

Now, most of the property is open to visitors as it is mostly a museum.

When it comes to food, the town has plenty to offer and is known for having high quality cured meats and fresh truffles.

The town is particularly famous for Cacio di Pienza, or Pecorino cheese – usually grated over pasta or eaten on a cheese board.

To celebrate its cheese, the town even holds a festival dedicated to it on the first Sunday in September that includes a cheese-rolling competition.

For those who want to stay in Pienza, you’ll mainly find holiday rentals over hotels.

One that is popular is Casa Olivieri, with the one-bedroom apartment starting from £90.

The closest airport that has direct UK flights is in Florence – from there it’s a one hour and 40-minute drive.

Women’s basketball is finally getting the queer rom-com it deserves.

Media company Run-A-Muck has announced that it is developing “Courtside,” a sports romantic comedy set in the world of professional basketball. WNBA All-Star Gabby Williams, two-time WNBA champion Sydney Colson and 2022 WNBA champion Theresa Plaisance are among those set to appear in the movie, according to Deadline.

“If you like ‘Love & Basketball’ and ‘Bend It Like Beckham’ and ‘Bring It On’ but you found yourself wondering, ‘Could this maybe be a little bit gayer?’ We have great news for you,” Colson said in a Thursday Instagram post. “The answer is yeah, you could always make it gayer.”

Colson, a Texas A&M standout who was drafted to the WNBA in 2011, is also one of the executive producers on “Courtside.”

Written by “Abbott Elementary” writer-producer Brittani Nichols and directed by Carly Usdin, the movie will follow an injury-plagued women’s basketball superstar with championship ambitions who is thrown for a loop when she falls for a teammate.

“Making a movie like this is super exciting to me because I grew up playing basketball,” Colson added. “I would have loved as a young person to see my story depicted … on screen so to see a team of people who want to ensure that others can see characters and storylines that feel personal and familiar to them. I’m so excited about it.”

Colsen and Plaisance, who won a championship together as teammates on the Las Vegas Aces in 2022, share a podcast and also starred in the unscripted buddy comedy “The Syd + TP Show” together. Williams, who plays for France in international competition, currently plays on the Golden State Valkyries.

“It feels like I’ve been waiting my whole life for this kind of excitement to surround women’s basketball, and I’m excited to blend my love of sports, lesbian tension, and comedy into one project,” Nichols told Deadline. According to the outlet, Run-A-Muck co-founder and “The L Word” star Jennifer Beals is also slated to appear in the project.
