The men who renovated the house are Polish immigrants, so they used the name "Polonia".

5. Finish the quote: 'I'll hire the descendants of _______ Gods to do the heavy lifting'.

From Quiz Have You Been 'Under the Tuscan Sun'?

Answer: Roman

Naturally, Frances was being sarcastic to Patti saying that she could hire 'Roman Gods' to help her fix up her house, being that she was in Italy. She knew it would take an army to refurbish her house, so she said that to Patti to ease her concern.

6. What is the sign that caused the owner of Bramasole to sell the house to Frances?

From Quiz Under The Tuscan Sun

Answer: Bird droppings hit Frances on the head.

Yes, this is apparantly a good thing, at least in Tuscany.

It was lifted up in the air and fried to a crisp, after which Frances frantically jumped into bed with an unsuspecting owl.

8. What was the villa that Frances bought in Tuscany called?

From Quiz Have You Been 'Under the Tuscan Sun'?

Answer: Bramasole (Desire the Sun)

The villa is called 'Bramasole' because it is situated on the countryside that receives the majority of the sun throughout the day.

9. Who said this: 'Regrets are a waste of time, they're the past crippling you in the present'.

From Quiz Have You Been 'Under the Tuscan Sun'?

Answer: Katherine

Katherine said this to Frances while her portrait was been drawn. She thought Frances was sad once again, and told her to stop looking for what she wanted in life. She said to forget about it and to continue working on her house and it would eventually come to her in time. Katherine always had these great stories and quotes that made Frances rethink her way of life.

10. What was the name of Frances' Italian lover?

From Quiz Under The Tuscan Sun

Answer: Marcello was his name.

Martini was the realtor who sells her Bramisole and also becomes her friend.

11. What color is the dress that Marcello dreams he sees Frances in?

From Quiz Have You Been 'Under the Tuscan Sun'?

Answer: White

White symbolizes purity, so maybe Marcello was thinking of a long-term relationship with Frances. That was until Patti came and permanently stayed with Frances. Then the relationship between them fizzled.

12. Why does Patti's lover leave her?

From Quiz Under The Tuscan Sun

Answer: She decides she doesn't want to be a mom.

This seems very ironic since Patti mentions in the restaurant at the beginning of the movie that this was the fifth try for her to become pregnant.

13. After buying the house, Frances realizes that there are a few things extra that she has inherited. What is one of them?

From Quiz Have You Been 'Under the Tuscan Sun'?

Answer: one grape

The other items were 10,000 empty wine bottles and every issue of the Italian newspaper printed in 1958, along with a few unruly creatures that had inhabited the villa before she had moved in. The previous owners made their own wine, so that explains the leftover empty wine bottles that were left behind. There was only one grape left on the vine in the vineyard when she moved in because grapes were not in season at the time. That one little grape showed that the vineyard was still able to flourish at the right time. As for the newspapers, no one really learns the reason why the owners wanted every paper that was printed in 1958.

14. When describing the Tuscan market on a postcard, what does Frances write?

From Quiz Under The Tuscan Sun

17. Finish the movie tagline: 'Life offers you a thousand _________... all you have to do is take one'.

From Quiz Have You Been 'Under the Tuscan Sun'?

18. Who is the old man who brings fresh flowers every day to the house?
