Plot Summary
Jane Hudson is a not-so-young American woman who arrives in Venice for a holiday. She is so enthusiastic about the landscape that she films everything, even her arrival by train. On the ferry from the station to the city, she meets Mr. and Mrs. Mcllhenny, also American, who is touring Europe. As luck would have it, they are all staying at the Fiorini boarding house. Here Jane gets a room with a small terrace and a breathtaking view of Venice and the lagoon. This is how she starts her holiday, traveling around the city and filming everything and everyone. Being alone, however, she sometimes finds herself melancholic and sad.
One day, while sitting at a table in St Mark’s Square, she notices a charming man watching her and quickly turns away. Shortly afterward she enters an antique shop to buy a glass cup, and the shopkeeper is the same man. Increasingly upset, she is accompanied by Mauro (a young boy who lives by his wits) around the shop and inadvertently falls into the water. Back at the guesthouse, she is joined by the antiquarian who begins to court her. Fascinated, she gives in to Renato de Rossi’s flattery and starts going out with him, continuing to see him even when she discovers he is married but separated. Finally, fearing that the relationship will wear out, she leaves to return to America with this wonderful memory of a summer romance.
