\nBesides the beautiful scenery, my favorite part of the  Oscar winning film of the past, Mediterraneo, (a charming film about a group of  Italian soldiers stranded on a beautiful Greek isle during World War II) is this quote
\n\u201cLife isn’t enough. One life isn’t enough for me. There aren’t enough days. Too many things to do, too many ideas. Every sunset upsets me because another day has gone by\u201d.<\/strong>
\nNicola LoRusso  ( Diego Abatantuono<\/a>-one of my favorite Italian actors)<\/strong>
\n 
\nIf you have not enjoyed this film directed by one of my favorite Directors- Gabriele Salvatores- here is a quick snippet:
