After a divorce, Mayes impulsively purchases Bramasole, a rundown villa, and begins the process of restoring it with the help of local artisans. Through the trials and tribulations of home renovations, Mayes discovers the beauty of Italian culture, cuisine, and landscape, and forms meaningful connections with the locals. As she navigates the challenges of renovating a historic property, Mayes also reflects on her personal journey of self-discovery, healing, and finding a sense of home in a foreign land. "Under the Tuscan Sun" is a heartwarming tale of restoration, self-renewal, and the joys of embracing a new life in an idyllic Italian setting.
