We're on the Grand Canal. Down there is Palazzo Labia.

And that gondolier coming is the most handsome gondolier in Venice.

His name is Bepi Buleghin.

They'll soon add him to the map with the beauties of the lagoon.

Lucia, wait for me!

- Lucia! - Go away, Bepi.

- You never showed up again. - Grandad is sick.

Lucia, I must give you something. They are the ties you gave me.

- I'm marrying Nina. - Hang yourself with them!

She's not that upset!

Dorina! Here are the slippers. I liked them, but I can't wear them.

You liked them? Betrayer, scoundrel, coward!

Don't beat the carpet too much or you'll ruin it.

I kiss your hands, Countess.

Dorina, you're really beating it!

I'd like you to be this carpet!

I'd rather be in the blanket's place.

It's the old lady's blanket.

The old lady's blanket!

The old bell ringing...

You sent back the present I gave you for your birthday.

I'd keep it, but the priest told me I must return everything.

To have a holy marriage, I must not have other bonds.

- Are you getting married? - I'm marrying Nina in one week.

- What about me? - I'd like to marry you too.

But I'm a Christian. I can only marry one woman.

- So you're leaving me? - Yes, my beautiful little nose.

Goodbye, Paolina. I send you a kiss.

Here!

- I'll leave you the gift! - You can keep it!

Bepi, a train loaded with beautiful girls arrived.

I'm ready! Gondola!

Look at those two. Not bad, huh?

I promised Nina not to take beautiful girls in the gondola anymore.

I'll take the old ladies. Let's go!

Let's go!

Here. Take the suitcases.

Old lady, I don't understand you. What are you saying?

- What are you saying? - Those aren't their suitcases.

- No? Whose are they? - They are ours.

Paolino, take the old ladies. I'll have to take these two.

Alright. Let's go, ladies!

- Do you know of a nice hotel? - Yes. The best in Venice.

Bepi, nice hit! If Nina sees you...

I'm marrying Nina. I'll just show them the beauties of Venice.

See you at the gym, guys!

Wait for me!

Will you give me a lift?

If you don't mind being with these lovely ladies...

Shall we let the white and black man get on?

- I'll help you to row. - Move!

Fulgenzio, I think you're out of practice.

If you won the regatta 3 years ago it's because I was there.

Since I've been a monk, the Sestiere of San Moisè is always last.

Miss, you speak Italian, right?

Yes. I teach it in Cincinnati.

Cincinnati! Italian is a lovely language.

- Your friend speaks Italian too? - A bit. She is learning it.

You did a good thing in coming to Venice.

To learn a language you must go where they speak it.

- I don't understand. - Strange! It takes time.

- Will you stay in Venice long? - One day. We're leaving tomorrow.

I am going in Austria and my friend is going to Florence.

What a shame! One day is too little.

You can do many things in Venice.

Bepi, remember that you're getting married in a week.

I remember it, but it's your boss' fault, the Almighty.

I wanted to board the old ladies and he sent me angels on the gondola.

If you talk to Nina, remember that confession is secret.

Why are you wearing a cap?

I promised Nina that I would always wear it

so she can check on me from a distance.

Nina, Bepi is over there!

Nina, I'm coming!

See how she controls me with the red cap?

I'll go give her a kiss. Fulgenzio,

behave with these two foreign girls.

- Nina, my love. I love you. - Dear!

You look lovely with the dress I gave you.

You are the biggest love in the world. If I go all around it,

I won't find a more beautiful one!

- My Nina! - Who are those two on the gondola?

They are two American women who are here for one day.

They are ugly. I didn't dump them because Father Fulgenzio is there.

- Goodbye, Nina. - Bye.

- My dear! Bye! - Bye.

Hi, Bepi. Does the dress you gave me look good on me?

Rosa, it looks wonderful!

- Excuse me, ladies. - Wasn't everything over with Rosa?

- You gave her a red dress? - Yes, because it's over.

You're smart! You gave her the same dress as Nina's.

Why do you talk like that? What do you think?

I don't think. I see.

I'm sorry, but they need an explanation up there.

Will it take a long time before getting to the hotel?

It depends on what will happen up there.

Don't flirt with Bepi!

I like this fight!

- Will she tear off her petticoat? - I hope so!

He even gave you dresses! Aren't you ashamed?

What else did Bepi give you?

He gave her the petticoat!

Take this!

What's wrong, Nina?

You have the courage to ask? Throw away that cap!

Shame on you!

Here is the cap.

We have to wait a bit more... If all goes well.

Go away, Bepi. I won't marry you anymore.

You said it many times, but we know that we can't be apart.

Without you, I will be just fine.

Who will take you around in a gondola?

Who will caress you? Who will give you those kisses?

Go away. I don't know you.

Calm down. I'm marrying Toni this time.

No, Nina! Why did it happen?

- Shame on you! - Here's another one. Go away!

The show is over. Go!

That's crazy! Filippetto, go away. I must talk to Nina.

No, stay here. Hold Ferdinando.

Ferdinando? Is it a game?

It's my business. What I do doesn't concern you anymore.

- Show me. - Keep it up.

Ferdinando! A pigeon with a man's name and with a bell.

- What does she do? - It's our business.

Go away! You think you are a man?

Leave me alone! Take your gifts back and leave.

- Toni, we have customers. - Is the speedboat available?

It's available.

Ferdinando, what are you bringing me?

I hope it's good news.

They want me somewhere else.

- It's occupied. - Vacant.

Occupied. I must go with Ferdinando.

Must we wait a lot longer?

- Hi, Father Fulgenzio. - Hi, Toni.

- What are you doing? - We're praying.

- Is the speedboat available? - If you have a bit of patience,

I'll take Ferdinando to the bridge and come back immediately.

I don't think he'll come back soon.

Can you take us?

No. If the bishop sees me, he'll send me back to seminary.

This is the shawl you gave me. Take it back.

Alright.

But if you're cold tonight... I'll get it back tomorrow.

No. Today is the last day we're seeing each other.

Take this necklace back too.

- It broke. - Don't laugh. Help me.

Let's pick them up!

Look well. Not even one coral must be left.

- How many were there? - 57 small ones and 3 big ones.

We'll still have another half hour.

Here...

- Open, Ninetta! - It's Toni. Tell him to go away.

- Go away, Toni! - I want to talk to Nina!

- Go away! - I'm telling him to stay.

- Wait, Toni. We've almost finished! - We had almost finished.

If she's in there with Bepi, it's not true they broke up.

It's true. She's saying goodbye.

She's giving him his gifts back.

Ferdinando, we finally got rid of Bepi.

He's happy too. Ninetta!

The lock of your hair.

This is Father Fulgenzio's holy card. The Virgin.

- And this is the little medallion. - The wallet.

This is yours too. I'll take the gondolier license and the money.

- Here. - I forgot the lamps!

- Take these back too. - It's a shame!

They would've been nice on the sides of the double bed.

Nina, send him away, or...

- Bepi, what did you do? - Oh, God!

What did I do! Our lamp!

We'll never find another one like this.

Good! So I won't hear that music anymore.

Do you hear it? It's playing by itself.

- Are you angry? - No. Everything is over.

Then you're not angry.

Listen to our song.

Cocoleta, come with me on the Grand Canal.

- Let's make peace. - No.

A little peace, temporary.

I can't hear anything. Is it a bad sign?

No. They're dividing the gifts. He gave her many.

Nina is probably checking the list.

I hope they don't give kisses back too.

- I said one small one. - I don't remember.

Behave. This is the holy week for you.

I promise.

One day I'll put a rock around Toni's neck and drown him.

No, Bepi. Don't touch him.

If you get in trouble again, I'll marry him.

- And I'll drown him. - Stop combing your hair!

- All your oaths... - I promised not to comb my hair?

- Go on! - I'm going.

- A little kiss! - Go on!

Remember that there's the procession today at three.

I'll be there!

- Excuse me, Toni. - Forget it.

My Nina! Bye!

Bye!

Cocoleta, come with me on the Grand Canal with the gondola.

And your heart will beat...

Priests, don't go by there. They're taking off red dresses today.

You'll be left in your slips.

Go away.

- Still here, Toni? - You had me come here.

What did you want to say?

You always come when Bepi and I made peace again.

I come, but you always stop arguing before I get here.

- You don't argue enough. - You always get the hiccups!

It won't happen again. I know how to control myself.

- When are you getting married? - In a week.

When I finish preparing the house for you.

Every time you argued I bought something.

- When did it happen in September? - The 22nd.

When everything was over forever with Bepi

I bought a 24 piece set. At Christmas...

- Not Christmas, but Christmas Eve. - You told him, "Bepi, I hate you".

I bought an electric kitchen.

- I bought a TV set... - For Saint Joseph's.

When Bepi and I slapped each other.

Nina, the house is ready.

Only you are missing.

I'll come to see you.

Until you get married I'll wait for you. I'll leave the door open.

Here. I hope you'll need it right away.

Ferdinando, if Nina sends you to call me, don't come on foot.

Fly!

Go to hell!

There's an ancient

and beautiful refrain,

and it's an enchantment.

I love you so much.

Bepi, I'm getting off. I'm almost there.

Wait. I'll accompany them and then take you to the church.

I'm tired of this brigade.

Too bad for you,

Saint Philip said, "Little brigade, blessed life".

Leave Saint Philip alone.

Be on time for the procession.

OK. I'll be on time!

Darn this suitcase!

Give me the ball! The ball!

This is the Bridge of Sighs.

Prisoners that the Doge sent to be executed

used to sigh on top of it.

Now girls sigh under it when they fall in love with the gondolier.

It's very romantic, isn't it Janet?

Cocoleta,

come with me on the Grand Canal with my gondola.

And your heart will go tick tack.

Cocoleta, come with me on the Canal.

It will be wonderful!

This is the river of the greatest lovers of all times.

From that window, during the nights without a moon,

the spirit of a noble woman goes around with a candle.

She killed herself for love.

That's the building where Tristan and Isolde loved each other.

Juliet and Romeo didn't do anything around here?

They met at two bridges up ahead.

Even leaves love each other in Venice.

Ivy dies where it clings. A souvenir.

Thank you.

Come, miss.

Give me your hand.

- How much do we owe you? - I'm the hotel's gondolier.

- We'll make out a bill when you go. - May we take a picture?

With pleasure.

Get closer.

Good morning, welcome!

Good morning! Americans, right?

Yes. Could we have a room with two beds?

We have one that looks out on the Grand Canal.

Come in. You were lucky

to come with the most handsome gondolier of Venice.

Don't look at me with that stupid face. Hurry up!

Go to the station and bring guests. The house is empty.

- Those American girls are pretty. - I didn't look at them.

Give me the oar. Let me row the gondola.

Gino, you have the hook. You work on land.

- Always the same! - Alright.

When I get married, I'll give you the oar and you'll be the gondolier.

- Really? Will you promise? - I promise!

Cocoleta, come with me.

Son of a dog!

Venice, the moon and you.

Put another line of carnations at the stern. Don't save money.

Nina wants my gondola to be the most beautiful in the procession.

Yes, madam!

You must take two guests for a tour of Venice.

I can't. I must go to the procession.

Good morning.

Good morning. If I had known,

I wouldn't have promised to go to the procession.

- I'll go! - No. You stay here!

- Bepi, don't argue. It's an order. - Then I'll obey.

- Have fun. - Thank you.

I hope that Father Fulgenzio absolves me.

Let's go. Remove everything!

I'll change in a minute.

- What are we waiting for? - Bepi. We're always waiting for him.

- You trust him too much. - I know.

I trust him too much and God punishes me.

Father, my robe broke.

Hold it up with your hands.

Be quick! Remember to sing loudly during the procession.

Pay attention! And you, don't talk all the time.

Nina, why isn't Bepi coming?

- He'll come. He promised. - But it's late.

Nina, the veil on your head looks very good on you.

- I'm thinking about becoming a nun. - Toni, what are you doing here?

- Are you free? - If nobody wants me, I'm free.

Take the people that Bepi was to take.

Good idea. I think that Bepi is on duty today.

Don't be scared, miss.

Row, hold it.

Row, stop. Good job!

Janet, I'm doing it!

I love you.

I love you so much.

Do you want to row too?

Your friend is very serious.

- You're very beautiful. - Thanks.

Row, Row, stop!

This is the most interesting part of the building.

Come.

That's the window of Casanova's bedroom.

Now I sleep there, modestly speaking.

On that side there's a secret passage.

If you want to leave from there, we'll go to the pier.

It was the emergency exit of the married noble women.

They left that way after being with Casanova...

Bepi, you take them, and watch where they walk.

They could break their necks.

I'll take care of it. Come, ladies.

Watch your step.

Follow me. Don't be scared.

One at a time. Only two can go through.

- I can't see anything. - It's a bit dark here.

- Bepi, where are you? - I'm here. Give me your hand.

Don't be scared. Easy. Lean on me.

Yes, like that.

Who are you? Janet or Nathalie?

- Me? - Yes, you.

What are you doing?

Miss, don't run away.

It was a joke.

- Bepi! - Yes, come!

Here I am. Give me your hand.

I can't see anything.

I know. Walk here. Easy.

- Slowly. Lean on me. - Thank you.

I'll hold you. Don't be scared.

- No, Bepi. - Which of the two are you?

What are you doing?

The other one can come. They are just two. Thank goodness!

Where are you, ladies?

- You know who went out first? - Why?

I want to know who gave me a kiss and who slapped me.

Why are you laughing, idiot?

Shall we make peace?

You love me.

I love you very much.

So very much.

So very much!

I will give shelter to the sinner.

Oh, God, I had forgotten!

The procession! Let's go. Did it have to come by here?

Nina, look. Bepi is there with two girls.

It's not true. He's on duty.

- Look. He's on land. - No. I don't want to look.

Let's go... Let's go!

Oh, Holy Virgin,

- pray for me. - He disappeared.

Hurry up!

Everyone calls your name,

rescuer.

Nina, Bepi is here!

Toni, see that Bepi came?

It's not Bepi, it's the devil!

Oh, Holy Virgin,

pray for me.

Oh, Holy Virgin,

pray for me.

"Dear Bepi, I love you."

"I think about you, the gondola and the nights on the Grand Canal."

"See you soon. Your little savage Indian.

She is beautiful. I like her.

She has nice long legs.

- She is a Scandinavian. - Grandad, this isn't for you.

It's not for me...

If you have one left over, pass her on to me.

Come on, Grandad! Don't think about such bad things.

She's tall. I like her.

Look at what a nice full moon!

Scandinavian, foreigner!

- Hi, Dad. - I found these letters.

- Holland and Luxembourg. - Thanks, Dad.

- Are you tearing everything up? - Yes, I am.

I don't want to see these women anymore. It's all history.

I want to wash myself inside and out.

- I don't know her. - I know her.

- You? - She's Swiss, Gretel.

What woman!

She had a beauty mark right...

Dad, look at the moon.

And I must stay home this week when there's a full moon.

If I don't make love with a full moon, I feel sick.

Stop it, Grandad. You sound like a fierce beast.

It's a family illness.

We are like werewolves.

With a full moon, they howl and we make love.

Nina, where are you?

Close your eyes. I must show you something.

Alright. I'll close them.

What will you show me?

- Nina! - Open them now.

You're beautiful! Am I so fortunate?

They brought it for a fitting and I wanted to show you.

- Will she take if off now? - Yes, she will.

Grandad, go embroider.

- You like it? - Yes, so-so.

You'll show me up at the altar. They'll say:

"Who is that beautiful girl marrying a dunce?"

That's enough for tonight.

- Good night. - No, Nina.

- I'll dream about you all night. - What's wrong?

Nina, my love. Don't go away.

- Did you see the moon? - I saw it.

Nina, one week before the wedding.

- Seven days are so long! - They are long for both of us.

- We are both waiting. - You think waiting is better?

Don't be a wise guy.

Nina, one of your kisses would be enough.

Come to my house a minute before going to bed.

Tomorrow! I know your kisses.

Alright. I'll go to bed without dessert.

See you tomorrow!

- Good night! - Good night, my love.

Cocoleta!

Darn moon!

Bepi, Gino wants to talk to you!

Come!

I'm coming! What is it?

Mrs. Elvira is waiting for you to take two guests for a tour.

She knows I don't do the night shift anymore. I'm not going.

I'll go, then. Give me the gondola and don't worry.

Wait, Gino! You can't take the gondola.

- You said you're not going! - Right! I promised Nina

I won't do night shifts anymore. Two guests?

- Yes. - Is it for the two American girls?

Americans? Young and beautiful?

- Well? - If I don't go, she'll fire me.

- No. I'll go. - No. You help the boats dock.

She will fire me. I know her.

- Do you want to go? - Of course. I must!

It's my job. Tell her I'm going.

Dad, I have to do the night shift.

Grandad, don't say anything to Nina.

If it deals with women, I know how to keep a secret.

- Bye, Grandad. Bye, Dad. - Bye!

American women!

- Guido, open the door. - Go open.

- Gigio, go open. - Gianni, you open!

- I always have to open! - You are the youngest.

- Hi, Gianni. Good evening. - Come in, Toni.

Thanks. My jacket got hooked on the door.

Good evening, Mr. Todaro. May I, madam.

Please... No, I don't want...

- I'm sorry! - Don't worry.

- I'm very sorry. - Good evening.

- Hi, Guido. - Hi.

- Hi, Nina. - Nina, your boyfriend is here.

My boyfriend is Bepi. Don't be funny.

- You want coffee or something? - I would be honored.

Nina, I'll tell you in front of Toni.

You are free to do as you wish. Even to marry Bepi.

But remember that Toni will always be your fiancé for us.

Understand?

- A cigar? - Thank you.

- Here, Toni. Light it. - Thanks.

Inhale strongly.

Inhale. You can see a man by how he smokes a cigar.

Yes. That's it!

I'm still too young. I'm not experienced enough.

- What are you writing? - Wedding announcements.

There's written that you'll marry me.

They are the ones when I was to marry you.

I'm erasing your name and putting Bepi's on it.

We must save money. Bepi is poor.

This is why we want you to marry Toni.

You'd even have an icebox.

- You even have an icebox? - 180 liters.

- Even 181! - Why don't you want to marry him?

Because I don't like him!

How many times must I tell you?

- Drink, Toni. It'll go away. - Yes. It'll go away.

Thanks.

- It's gone, huh? - Yes, thanks.

Bepi, give me a kiss.

- Calm down. - Bepi, don't worry.

Kiss me, please.

Don't worry. My husband is deaf.

Kiss me, Bepi! Kiss me!

You're bad! You're bad.

Alone in a gondola on this enchanting night!

It's a shame that you are not on our gondola.

It's a real shame.

Let's go, gondolier.

Nane, do me a favor.

- Good for you, Bepi! - Happy? Thanks, Nane.

Do you want to dance?

- No, thanks. - Alright.

Grandad, what're you doing here? If Nina looks for me, I'm ruined.

- I must stay half an hour for work. - What work? Go home.

- Bepi, she's Scandinavian! - Go on! Scandinavian!

- Hi. - Hi, Brando.

- So many old ladies tonight. - Yes!

Gianni, what's this noise? Is your lady keeping pace with castanets?

Castanets? It's her dentures!

Enough of that Bepi!

How she looks at you! What did you do to her?

What did I do? The usual.

- Did you go to Casanova's home? - Sure.

She liked being with me and kissed me.

See the red haired one?

- She slapped me. - I like her more.

- I do too. - She's more of a woman.

- Yes. You're right. - Excuse me.

- Don't squeeze me so much. - Why?

I don't want you to!

She's quite a woman too. Poor Nane!

Poor Nane? Nane looks like a child

with that silly face. He can't deal with foreigner girls.

- Shall we go? - No. I want to dance.

It's your third drink. It's bad for you.

- Shall we dance? - With pleasure. It's my job.

- I'm very happy. - I'm glad.

- What time is it? - It's 11.

It's a shame! In one hour it's tomorrow.

I hadn't thought of it.

Look at what a lovely moon!

It's an ugly family characteristic. We are werewolves.

I studied the calendar to be in Venice on a full moon.

Really? I didn't think so.

Bepi, have Janet dance too.

I don't want her to notice we have a certain feeling.

- I don't want to dance with her. - Do it for me!

Alright.

- Will you dance, miss? - Yes, thank you.

What is it? I don't dance the minuet.

We dance closely in Italy.

Cheek to cheek.

- These Italians... - I love all Italians!

I'll keep this as a souvenir.

You're taking the ice as a souvenir! She's drunk.

Your friend is pretty!

Beautiful. I like you.

- Let's go dancing. - What do you want?

Italians are all so nice. They gave me this gift.

No. It's the room key.

She drank too much.

- Go to bed, Nathalie. - I'm going.

What'll we do?

No, it's too late.

We're leaving tomorrow. Wake us up at 8, please.

- And reserve a speedboat. - I'll take you with the gondola.

No, thanks. The speedboat is better.

You were faster on foot than me with the elevator.

- We never went up. - Janet?

- Her too. - I'll go get her.

Nathalie, wake up. The elevator doesn't work.

- Let's have the room come down. - What shall we do with her?

Can you help me take her to bed?

With pleasure!

Singing lullabies to beautiful girls is my specialty.

Lullaby and good night...

Since there are already 4 people at the table, I will go... Bye, Nina.

Will you say goodbye to Nina for me, please?

- Bye, Toni. - Goodbye, Mr. Todaro.

- Bye! - Where should I put this?

- Here. - Careful! You'll burn the dress.

No! I'll ruin the wedding!

- Toni. - What is it?

- What is your address? - Sotoportego dei Basi 51/24. Why?

I'll send you an announcement too. Alright?

Yes, thank you.

A nice thought.

I wish you, Bepi and Grandad much happiness.

- Grandad? - Bepi's grandad will live with you.

- They'll have the grandad at home? - Yes, as a maid.

He's a bit crazy, but he washes, irons, embroiders, curses...

- Who told you about the grandad? - Everybody says it.

If you don't believe me, ask Bepi.

- Sure. I'll ask him. - Ask!

- His grandad at home! - Go ask him. Ask!

- Nina, what do you want from Bepi? - I want Bepi.

He's sleeping, but I'll call him.

Bepi dear. Nina wants you. Wake up!

He's still out.

He's sleeping. What did you want to tell him?

I wanted to ask him something, but you can tell me.

What is it?

After we get married, will you live with us?

I'd come with pleasure,

but for 30 years I've worked for him.

He makes me do all the housework. Sweep, cook, embroider,

and I'm tired of having to work so hard.

If you marry him, you'll do me a favor,

and if he doesn't settle down, clobber him.

Don't worry. I'll take care of him.

Yes, do so.

That scoundrel is getting married

and goes out and has fun with those American girls.

She's a "putea".

- Little girl. - Yes.

- Should I take her clothes off? - I'll take care of it! Don't worry.

I'll go get her pajamas.

A good night kiss.

- Does it still hurt? - What?

Where I slapped you today.

- You slapped me? - Yes. I'm sorry.

Janet told me to do it

if an Italian tried to kiss me.

- Will you forgive me? - Yes.

She's sleeping.

Beautiful! What lovely hair! It's like silk.

It's hot, isn't it?

What a nice perfume!

See you later.

Bepi, thanks for everything. You can go now.

I must thank you for the kiss you gave me today.

You're really leaving tomorrow?

- Yes. It's decided. - Absolutely decided?

- Yes. - These are our last hours together.

Do you often do this?

Does a man often meet a woman like you? Answer me.

The more I know you and the more I realize

that the idea we have of Italians is right.

- Did I disappoint you? - No.

I was prepared. I had predicted everything that happened.

Are you offended, gondolier?

Call me Bepi.

Venice, the moon and you.

Tonight this heart

will wait while it dreams.

Venice, the moon and you.

On the lagoon love will bewitch us.

It will whisper...

On such nights the doge would come to the lagoon

and throw a ring into the sea to mean that he was marrying Venice.

Since then, whoever throws anything in the water,

will get married to this city.

Lovely! It's a delightful story.

Do you want to try? You want to get married with Venice?

No. I don't like throwing anything in the sea.

- Why not? - Do you like popcorn?

Why do you accept kisses during the day and not at night?

Because I thought we'd never see each other again.

- Do you care about me? - I can't care about you.

Why not?

- Because... - Why?

- Because... I'm married. - No!

Yes. I have two children this tall.

Here they are. Mary and Jim.

I'm so unfortunate.

Anyway, since you're leaving tomorrow...

What are you saying?

What are you saying?

Janet, my love.

I must get out of here.

Which way can I go?

- Bad Bepi! - Who is it?

- What do you want to do? - I'm leaving. I was passing by.

- My husband is very jealous. - Yes. I'm going in fact.

- You left me alone with him. - Be careful, frau!

There he is!

Don't worry. I'm going.

And that's nothing! At Bepi's home they even eat cats.

The grandad, during the war, ate the pigeons of St. Mark's Square.

They roast the patron saint's doves?

It's a mortal sin and a sacrilege!

What's the use of talking about sacrilege with a man like Bepi?

We never saw him at Easter Communion.

Bepi didn't go to Communion for Easter?

This is too much. We are a respected family.

- We don't want to die damned. - Very good.

Withdraw your promise. You must not see him anymore.

He didn't make Confirmation.

The grandad isn't even a faithful, a sort of Muslim.

He baptized him with a blow on his head.

It's not true. He's religious, baptized and confirmed.

What about Easter Communion? Ask him if he did it.

If he doesn't, you won't marry him.

Alright. I'll ask him that too.

- Listen to her. - Ask him!

To the health of the poor infidels.

Bepi, Nina has to talk to you.

He is sleeping like an angel.

Bepi, wake up!

Come on, lazy head! Bepi!

Nina, I can't wake him up.

You'll talk to him tomorrow.

Grandad, you must wake him up. Have him jump out of bed.

I have to tell him something important.

Alright.

Bepi, wake up!

Wake up!

Wake him up! Break his head with a cane. I must talk to him!

Bepi, go to hell! Nina, I can't do it.

You'll talk to him tomorrow.

Not even cannonballs can wake him.

Grandad, break his head. Wake him up!

Bepi, wake up!

- Oh, God! - I almost broke my hand.

- Oh, God! - Get up.

- You broke my head. - Nina wants to talk to you.

- Go to the window. - Bepi, hurry!

This old man!

Nina, what do you want?

I just wanted some information.

Do you take Easter Communion?

Commun...

Of course I do. You know how religious I am.

If Father Fulgenzio doesn't see me, he doesn't even begin mass.

Thank you, Bepi. Good night.

Good night, love.

Gosh, Grandad, what a blow!

So one goes to Florence and the other goes to Austria.

- Yes. - May I have it as a souvenir?

No. It's the boat tax.

I thought it was the Chianti ad.

Nathalie collects memories of travels.

All the foreign girls take something from Venice.

But what they leave is much more important than what they take.

Many never leave, and they stay here.

They get married and become Venetian too.

And they almost all marry gondoliers.

Maybe because gondoliers are known as being handsome,

faithful, good husbands and excellent fathers.

And it's wonderful for a sentimental woman

to always live in a city like this.

They call it the capital of love.

Catch, Gigio.

- Let's hurry! - Throw it!

- Here! - Pass it!

Easy! If you have my dowry fall into the canal, I'll remain a spinster.

You would be fortunate. Better be a spinster than marry a man like Bepi.

- Take it, Gigio. - And he doesn't even help us.

- Bepi! - He must still be sleeping.

I can't sleep with this confusion.

- Just for some furniture! - Sorry for the bother.

This stuff will end up at our home. You should bring it.

The bride's family is responsible for the dowry.

- Why are you getting up so late? - I was sleepy and was up late.

I must work now.

And you loafers, don't cause trouble! Bye, Nina!

You must come to our new home too.

And stop combing your hair. We must help here.

Don't get upset. I'm coming.

You come and work too.

- Come on. - Come on!

Come on, guys!

Thanks.

Direct train Bologna-Florence-Rome is leaving on platform 3.

Porter!

Thank you.

Can't you carry my suitcase?

What are you saying?

Hurry. The ferryboat is leaving.

- Yes, Hotel Amore. - Alright.

Dear girl!

I am very happy to see you.

Venice is a city that can't easily be forgotten.

It is an intriguing city.

- I don't understand. - Yes, you do!

- May I have the room I had before? - Yes, it's still vacant.

Why didn't your friend come with you?

- She left for Austria. - She was very nice.

If you need me, call me.

She came back for Bepi.

You're back!

- Good. Are you alone? - My girlfriend left for Florence.

- Florence! - Could I have the same room?

No, it's taken.

I'll give you this one. It looks out on the Canaletto,

where the gondolas are stationed.

- You always look in the mirror. - To see if I'm worthy of you.

- Do you like me? - Of course I like you.

When we are old, we'll remember this day

after 40 years of a happy life and faithfulness.

- Just be faithful now. - Do you doubt it?

Only you are in my heart. No one else.

- No one else? - No one else, Nina.

Cocoleta... Who is it?

- Who is she calling? - I think she's calling you.

- Nina, I don't know her. - I didn't leave. I'm staying here.

- Are you happy? - I'm glad.

- I don't know her. - I know her.

Darn you, scoundrel, scum!

I don't want to see you again! Go to hell!

- My sister. Nina! - Take everything back home.

- Nina, let me explain. - You've explained enough!

It's not a wedding, it's a cuckoo's nest.

Pig! Let me go!

- Help! - Let me go!

Who the heck is this lunatic?

- Poor thing! She fell in the canal. - What happened?

- She wanted to kill herself. - How is it possible?

You know how it's possible.

I don't know anything.

- Don't joke. I don't know her. - Bepi, my love!

- You don't know her, huh? - I only saw her on the job.

Go to hell, all of you! Oh, God, I hope she doesn't die!

Weren't you supposed to leave? My God, you're heavy!

- What is it? - Toni!

That's Nina's voice.

- Open. I have to talk to you. - Yes.

- Hurry up! - I'll be right there.

It fell in the canal, but it was only milk.

- Maria! - Yes, sir!

Clear the table. Hurry!

Hurry, Maria...

- Holy Mary! - Clean up!

Wake up, Nina is coming!

Take it!

- Open, Toni! - Yes.

Come in. Why this unexpected visit?

- Show me the house. - You want to see the house?

- Did you argue with Bepi? - Show me the house!

It's not big,

but it's fine for two people.

- What is this parrot? - It's a she parrot.

You want to hear how good she is? "Nina, I love you".

Me too.

What are all these empty frames?

The big one is for the photo

of the wedding ceremony.

- And the little ones? - Menico, Fantin and Nane.

If they come, obviously.

- What is over here? - Nothing! It's a room...

It's a master bedroom,

but I don't sleep in it yet.

Excuse me.

Toni, you were right in being so patient.

180 liters!

The moment to marry has come.

- Lovely, huh? - We'll go to Father Fulgenzio.

Yes...

- What? - Don't look at me like that.

- Get your jacket and start moving! - Maria, pull out my dark suit!

This time I'm getting married!

- What happened? - She fell in the canal.

She jumped in because of you. You must marry her.

- Marry her? - Bepi, my love!

If you leave me, I'll kill myself.

- You woke up. Are you alright? - I feel fine.

- Can you walk? - Yes.

Then walk. Let's go.

You could've left as your girlfriend did.

- Hi, Nina. - Hi.

- Where can I find Father Fulgenzio? - There he is.

- Father, I must talk to you. - What is it?

- How much is a candle? - 100 liras.

Light two, please.

- These. They're taller. - Alright.

Nina, I didn't understand a thing.

Do you want to marry Toni or not?

- Yes, I want to marry him. - Do you love him?

Toni is a serious boy. A good boy, even too much.

- And he won't cheat on me. - Do you love him?

He has a good job, a lovely home,

- and he'll give me all I need. - But do you love him?

He loves me.

Excuse me, Nina.

What are you doing here? You're listening to what Nina says?

- I'll kick you out! - No, I didn't hear anything.

I wanted to say... If Nina says she doesn't love me, tell her...

I know myself. I'll get better with time.

I am like wine. The more it ages, the better it is.

- Tell her about this wine thing. - What?

- Tell her about this wine thing! - I know what I must tell her!

So, Nina, do you love him?

Toni is a good, honest worker.

He goes to Communion at least once a year.

- Do you love him? - No, but I'm marrying him anyway!

Excuse me a moment.

- Toni. - Yes?

This marriage is off to a bad start.

Can't you give up the idea?

Did you tell her that thing about the wine?

- Did you tell her that I get better? - Stop with this wine thing!

He is obsessed with it.

- So, Nina... - Listen. You have to do me a favor.

This wedding must take place immediately in secrecy.

Nobody must know, especially Bepi. Understand?

Alright. I understand.

I understand.

- Where is Toni? - I am here.

- Goodbye, Father. - Goodbye, Father Fulgenzio.

- See you at the wedding. - I'll be sure to be there.

Basilio, remember when Nina was to marry Toni

and they'd published the notice? Go get it.

- Again? - Yes. Put it well in sight.

Maybe someone wants to stop this wedding.

- Nina, come out! - Try this sweater on.

- Go away, Grandad! Nina! - What do you want now?

I must tell you a couple of words.

Then hurry. It's the last time that I come to this balcony.

This is what I must tell you: Traitor, flirt, deceiver.

Those are 3 words.

While you are engaged to me, you get engaged to Toni!

While I was sewing my dowry, you had fun with other women!

What other women? They are clients. I was working!

Are kisses and embraces part of your job?

Why did that American woman stay in Venice instead of leaving?

- What've I got to do with it? - You never have to do with it.

I don't care anymore because I prefer being

with a sincere, trusted, serene, inoffensive man...

Right, an uncultured, dumb, dunce like Toni.

- You know what? Marry Toni! - Of course I will!

- What did you say? - That I'm marrying him.

I'm glad.

Yes, I'm marrying him!

Night has fallen and we're still here talking.

Take all the gifts back and don't come around again.

And you take back these peanuts you gave me.

In three years, you only spent about 5,000 liras.

Are you counting how much I spent?

- I don't stoop so low. - It's not convenient.

Give me back my letters.

Take back these few sheets of paper filled with lies!

What a fool I was!

I couldn't sleep at night

for you to have news of me when you were a soldier.

And I was happy.

I thought you were sweet, adorable.

But you are as mean as a pest!

Shame on you! You weren't worthy of me.

The letters!

They fell in the canal!

Run! Let's go get them!

Let's run! Let's go!

Where are they? Here they are.

Get them! One, two, three.

- Let's save at least some! - Here's another one!

Get the one I wrote to you when you were sick!

Water cancels the lovely words that I so lovingly wrote to you.

Nina, listen to what beautiful words you wrote to me.

"Dear Bepi, I can't wait for you to return on a leave"

"so I can give you lots of ki..."

Nina, the water cancelled everything.

- What does this "ki..." mean? - It means "kicks"!

- It's what you deserve. - So we've made peace?

Peace? First give me an explanation.

- What explanation? - On that American woman.

I'll come and explain immediately.

No. My brothers had better not see you.

- I'll come to you. - Will you eat with me?

- We'll see! - Alright, hurry!

Put another plate. We have a guest.

Great!

- Good evening. Is Bepi here? - Yes, come in.

Thank you.

Bepi, she is waiting in the living room.

In the living room?

I'm cold. It must be the emotion.

I looked for you all day. Where were you hiding?

- So you stayed in Venice. - Yes, I'm here.

- Touch me! I'm not a ghost. - Yes, you're not a ghost.

I let Nathalie leave for Florence,

but I preferred staying.

- Good for you. - It's hot!

- Are you crazy? - Yes, I'm crazy about you.

- I am crazy about you. - What will you do? No, not here!

You always go to the window. Sit down, please.

Janet, I am shocked.

Do you realize what we are doing?

- You're married, you have children. - Bepi...

I have big news for you.

- I am not married. - There you go.

- You're not married? - No.

Good! What about those 2 children?

They are my sister's. They're my nephews.

I lied to you. I told you lies,

but to defend myself.

I was so afraid of you.

But when I saw that you were so sincere, so much in love...

Be good.

- Remember what you said to me? - What did I say to you?

That if I'd been free, you'd have married me.

- Did I say that? - Don't you remember?

Yes, but I remember just thinking it.

If you want, we can get married right away here in Venice.

The American consul is my good friend.

- I can see him tomorrow morning. - She is crazy.

Aren't you happy? What are you thinking about?

I am thinking what my poor mother would say.

- Is she against it? - No, she's dead.

Dead?

My poor mother is dead.

It's Nina! It's my sister. She's against it, and is alive!

Don't move from here.

Don't move!

If I offended you once, I don't want to offend you again.

- Who is it? - It's me.

- Are you afraid of thieves? - I am worried.

- Grandad isn't eating anymore. - Really?

He hasn't eaten in 3 days. See what you can do.

Grandad, eat!

I said not to move. Go to the consul.

- Hurry! - Thank you.

- Do you love me? - Yes, but leave.

My sister is here and she's against this marriage. Go!

Bepi! Grandad is fine. He's eating.

- Really? I'm glad. You cured him. - Are you crazy?

- Are you the Micheluzzis? - No!

We don't know the Micheluzzis. Give me a kiss.

I will when you've explained about the American woman.

- What? - The one who jumped in the canal.

That was a lunatic. She's probably in America by now.

Let's eat!

- Do you feel better? - Yes. I can get up now.

I am happy because the moment to leave has come.

- We're leaving? - No, you're leaving.

- Me? - Listen.

I must tell you something I didn't have the courage to say.

Nathalie, I am married.

- Married? - Yes, with two children.

Two babies.

Nathalie, what are you doing?

Why didn't you tell me right away?

I was afraid of losing you.

It's a cruel destiny.

Be strong, Nathalie. Drink something.

- You want some syrup? - No, I want to die.

Isn't it good?

The syrup is good!

It's really good.

- Do your still love her? - Love who?

- Your wife. - It was a combined marriage.

All my relatives convinced me and since Grandad embroiders,

- she thought he'd make her dowry. - Really?

It's magnificent!

- It will all be easy. - Easy...

You'll come with me to America and I'll help you divorce.

- I'm happy. - But we must talk.

Listen, if you'd told me you still love her,

I'd have swallowed all this bottle and would be dead.

Silly girl!

What? You'd have died after drinking...

This big bottle.

- Oh, my God! - Don't cry.

- You must laugh. - My God! I poisoned myself!

Where can I find a gift shop?

There are many. One is there.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Nina, there's a customer.

- Yes? - I want to buy a gift.

What kind of gift? A set of glasses? A perfume bottle?

A gift for a man.

A photo frame, a lovely glass woman, an ashtray...

It's a night lamp, the only one of its kind existing.

- How much does it cost? - It's not for sale.

It's lovely, isn't it? It's a music box too.

- Are you ill? - No, it's that this music...

- Does it remind you of something? - He always sings it.

It's his favorite song.

Please sell it to me.

I'll pay any price.

Alright, I'll give it to you. Filippetto!

Thank you!

- Put the lamp in the box. - Thank you.

Let me ask you.

- Is he from Venice? - I don't understand.

- Is he from Venice? - Why do you want to know?

- No reason. Excuse me. - How much is it?

- 20,000. - Here.

- Thank you. Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Did you sell her the lamp that Bepi gave you?

I have a thought in my head, but I hope I am wrong.

We'll see. Here's Toni. What will I tell him?

I received an urgent Ferdinando.

- Good news? - I must say... I can't remember.

- I wanted to ask you a favor. - Yes.

Remember the lamp Bepi gave me with the music inside?

- Sure, "Cocoleta". - They may give him one like it.

Go to Bepi's house later and see if you find it.

Why should I look for it? I don't understand.

You don't have to understand. Just find it.

- How much does it cost? - 7,500.

"Find the lamp." What if I find Bepi?

I'll break the lamp over his head.

Ferdinando, don't call me anymore for such nonsense.

My gosh! I poisoned myself!

I am perspiring. Am I sick?

No. We can drink liters of this medicine today.

They used to kill in the past.

- Really? - Get up, gondolier.

Doctor, if you say I am well, I'll jump like a cricket.

- Your purse. - Thank you.

I am not an expert on these poisons.

It's not a syrup. It is used as a mouth wash.

- We will be very happy in America. - Of course. We will be...

Nathalie, I wanted to say that as for America...

What'll I do with my work?

How can I leave the gondola?

My father has a big pool. We could take the gondola.

In a pool? A gondola?

I'll think about it.

- Bye. I have to go now. - Post this letter.

- Sure. - It's for Janet.

- You wrote to Janet? - I wrote that I'm marrying you.

- And taking you to America! - Yes, with a gondola. Bye!

I love you.

I love you very much.

Bepi, did you come to see me?

- No... Yes. - Sorry if I didn't show up.

I had a lot of things to do.

I went around Venice the whole morning.

By the way, I talked to the consul.

He'll be waiting for us at 5.

It's already noon!

I've a telephone appointment with my folks in America.

I want to give them the news about our marriage.

I'm sorry that we can't be together.

Some friends invited me to lunch.

I still have to do my hair, write some letters...

Speaking of letters,

post this one. It's for Nathalie.

I wanted to give her the good news too,

that we're getting married and that I'll stay in Venice forever.

I am very happy.

Bepi, I forgot to give you this.

It is a gift for you. I am sure you'll like it.

Remember, today at 5 in front of the consulate.

Toni, I didn't understand what you're looking for.

Something, Grandad, but I don't know why.

If you want Bepi, he isn't here. I don't know when he'll be back.

Something is burning in the kitchen!

Go!

- What is it? - I can't find the lamp.

- Look better. It must be there. - Yes.

- Excuse me. - Where should I look?

- Why are you here? - I must give you great news.

Remember that American?

She's leaving tonight for Florence.

- I'm glad. - I had promised you.

- Stop combing your hair. - I love you.

- I'd do anything for you. - Then cut your hair.

- Are you crazy? - You're vain.

- You love your hair more than me. - I love you.

- What are you doing? - I love you!

Don't you see the red ribbon?

I went around all of Venice to find it.

It costed me a lot.

Just think when we are married.

We'll wake up to the sound of that music. Cocoleta...

- Are you happy, Nina? - Very happy.

I sold it this morning to that American.

May I?

Do I bother you?

- What is Bepi doing on the table? - He came to say goodbye to me.

Accompany him to the door right now.

Did you get that, Toni? Kick him out.

- Out of my house! Out! - Right away!

Bepi, you heard Nina. I must kick you out.

Don't touch me.

Please, do me a favor. Go away.

Personally.

Done.

I'm sorry. I looked everywhere

but wasn't able to find the lamp.

- I found it. - Really?

But go now and leave me alone.

- You won't marry me anymore? - Yes, I will, but go away!

Yes, as you wish.

- Kick it! - Go on!

Hey, stop it!

He tripped me!

Come on, kick!

- Come on! - Pass the ball!

- Fulgenzio! - What do you want?

Father, I must talk to you.

If you call me "Father", it means it's trouble.

I'm in trouble. You must help me. It's a matter of life or death.

- Help me. - Alright.

I'll be right back, boys! Let's go in the church and talk.

- Meanwhile, I'll take a shower. - She was like a fury. I was afraid.

Be careful, rascals!

Go play somewhere else. I'm talking to Father.

Nina said, "Go away!"

"Alright, Nina. I'll leave."

"The facts say you are right and I am wrong. I acknowledge it."

But you've known me since we were children.

I am an gondolier, and she knows it.

She knows what my job is.

She should have told me not to be a gondolier anymore.

I don't only know her, I don't know only Venetian women.

A gondolier mostly deals with foreign women.

I tell the foreign women...

Right, Fulgenzio? Do you hear me?

Yes, I hear you, but I don't understand.

It's the usual thing with Nina.

But this time I fear it's over.

I heard about that American woman.

Did you hear about her? Actually they are two.

Two? So much the better!

She's a lost cause, she's crazy.

Each time I say I'm leaving her, she wants to kill herself.

- Once she jumped into the canal! - And the other?

Even worse! She wants to marry me.

Good job, congratulations.

My compliments!

Why don't you marry her?

Don't joke. You know I love Nina, and she is marrying Toni.

I know.

Then help me. That is why I came to you.

I can't help you with those two women still in Venice.

- What if I have them leave? - Right, do that!

Right away, and with any means.

It's not easy.

How many hoods do you have?

With any means?

The American woman is waiting for you outside the consulate.

The cassock is too long. I trip everywhere.

- Use a belt. - True.

I'll use a belt. Just go.

Surprised to see me like this, huh?

I so much struggled with myself.

I don't understand.

What does this outfit mean?

I was in the seminary until last year, then they dismissed me.

For reasons of health.

I know I should have told you.

I tried to return to the terrestrial world.

You helped me a lot and I thought I'd made it, but...

- Well? - I couldn't do it.

- I heard the voice. - The voice?

- The voice? - Yes, the voice.

"Bepi, come back!" And Bepi returns up there in the convent,

on the mountains, to meditate.

Excuse me, Bepi,

if I am not capable of rising as high

as you are.

- Goodbye, Janet. - Goodbye.

No! Go.

Go away.

Go away. I can't move if you don't leave.

Go, Janet!

And don't turn back!

Go without turning back!

Goodbye!

Go, Janet. Go... Go!

- Let's go, sisters! - Sisters...

Nina, you'll be fine with Toni.

He is a good man. He'll give you everything you need.

Stop moving.

- He's not here! - Where did he go?

He left with his grandfather. I don't know when he'll be back.

Alright. Thank you.

So much the better.

- Here she is! When is Nina marrying? - At noon.

- What time does the train leave? - At 11. It arrives in Milan...

I don't care!

- What do you want to do? - It's easy.

When the train is about to leave, you'll come up shouting,

- "Bepi, run, the house is on fire!" - Run! The house is on fire!

- Later! Shout later. - Understand, Grandad?

Nathalie, I'm here!

American?

American!

Bepi, I am so happy.

- I'm looking for Grandad. - Are you nervous?

I am worried. When I left home

I left the burner on and the door open.

And the fire lit. It's Grandad whistling for me. Let me go.

- Don't go. The train is leaving. - I have to go.

Meanwhile, sit down. I'll be right back.

Oh, God!

Leaving from platform 2

is the direct train Venice-Milan-Genoa.

- Everything is set. - Where is the suitcase?

In the second compartment. There is only one traveler.

Thank you.

We are departing!

Mind your hands.

Forgive me.

Are you happy?

- What time is it? - 11:30.

My suitcase is on the train. Send it to the address on it.

If you don't it doesn't matter. It's empty.

- Cheers for the newlyweds! - Cheers!

Hi, Guido. Hi!

Uncle Menego! I'm glad that you came.

It's the third time I've come from Bassano. Are you really marrying?

Yes. See you at the altar.

- Gigi, best wishes. - You're the one marrying.

Right, I'm the groom.

- It's a twitch. - Excuse me.

Five more minutes. Nina, wait for me!

Toni, we are just waiting for you.

- You are a beautiful bride. - Don't be silly.

- But Nina! - Father Fulgenzio!

- What is it, Gino? - Bepi is closed in the train.

He'll get off at Mestre. We have to delay the wedding.

What do you mean?

We can't have this wedding without Bepi.

- Can't we wait 10 minutes? - It doesn't matter.

If he can't come to the ceremony, he'll come to the lunch.

- Don't ruin my veil! - Sorry. She's nervous today.

- Run! What time is it? - Noon.

- Go away, please. - I'm the groom.

- Excuse me. - Toni, Mom.

- Ready? - One moment. Filippetto is missing.

Filippetto, come here!

Uncle Menego, you come too.

Why isn't he coming? I'll eat him!

Done. Thank you!

Just a moment. Excuse me. I moved.

We'll take another one. Thank you.

Done. Thank you.

It's past noon. Poor me. It's over!

Father, must we must play Corelli's "Andante" or Handel's "Largo"?

- How long does the "Andante" last? - Three minutes.

- And Handel's "Largo"? - About 10 minutes.

Play Handel's "Largo". And stretch it out as much as possible.

Darn speedboat!

Darn you!

You're late. It's over!

You are late, but maybe it's better this way.

You'll think about it next time, if you still want to marry.

I won't ever marry.

I won't ever marry!

You are so beautiful!

I didn't deserve you.

I wish you much happiness with Toni.

When I was in front of the altar...

And I said, "Do you want to take Toni Valmarin as your husband?"

She said no, so I said no too.

I couldn't marry a woman who loves another man.

Thank you, Toni. Excuse me.

Let's go back in. I'll get you water with sugar.

Thanks, Toni.

My Cocoleta.

- But... - I did it for you.

Not to be vain anymore, not to comb my hair again. Like it?

You are so ugly!

You're really ugly!

I liked you so much with your lovely hair.

I won't let it grow again.

I will sell the gondola and stop being a gondolier.

I will always be with you, day and night.

No. I married the most handsome gondolier of Venice

and I want to see you on your gondola with your lovely hair.

I won't be jealous. You can be on the gondola day and night.

- Really? Day and night? - As long as you love me.

I love you, I love you very much.

I love you, I love you!

I love you.

I love you very much.

So much, so much.

So very much...

Bepi, we've agreed, huh?

Don't worry, Nina!

She's my sister, married, with a son. Keep the souvenir.

Bye, Nina!
