Italian Star Raniero Monaco Di Lapio & His Wet T-Shirt Make An Impressive Hallmark Channel Debut in 'Very Venice Romance'
There’s not much left to the imagination with Raniero Monaco Di Lapio in a wet t-shirt in his Hallmark Channel debut, A Very Venice Romance.
The Italian actor teamed up with Stephanie Leonidas for the romantic new movie, set in Floating City.
Here’s the summary: Amy (Leonidas) is a New York City executive that has been trying to launch health-forward deliverable meal prep kits with supplements. She needs to find a chef to help guide the venture and sets her sights on Italian Chef Marcello (Monaco Di Lapio).
Marcello declines to hear Amy’s offer, so the never-deterred Amy travels to Venice, Italy and signs up for his advanced cooking course hoping to make her case in person. While there, she meets an assortment of charming and quirky tourists as they learn to cook and travel the island.
Marcello introduces Amy to the slow-paced pleasures of Italy and shows her how the kits can be healthy by using fresh ingredients, not supplements. Amy’s boss isn’t convinced, and Amy risks losing her job if she doesn’t stay on-brand.
A Very Venice Romance debuts TONIGHT, September 30 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Hallmark Channel.
