Giulia Luzi

The Sanremo Music Festival is the most popular Italian song contest and awards, held annually in the town of Sanremo, Imperia, Italy, and consisting of a competition amongst previously unreleased songs. The Festival was the inspiration for the Eurovision Song Contest.

Giulio is a widower, struggling to raise three sons, Marco, Rudi, and Mimmo, as best he can. He lives in Rome's working-class Garbatella neighborhood and runs a wine shop with his two brothers. Lucia, meanwhile, comes from Milan's middle-class background; she's divorced and trying to rebuild her life with her two daughters, Eva and Alice. The two meet by chance and recognize each other: they had a fling as teenagers, many years earlier. Yet first love is never forgotten, and so Giulio and Lucia find themselves together again. Their meeting, however, changes not only the lives of a man and a woman, but also those of two families as different as could be. Two families who find themselves living under the same roof without even having had the time to get to know each other well.

A French musical by Gérard Presgurvic, created in 2001 at the Palais des Congrès in Paris and inspired by William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The musical was released at the same time as three other creations (Da Vinci, Les Ailes de la lumière, Les Mille et Une Vies d'Ali Baba, and Les Dix Commandements), following the great success of Notre Dame de Paris the previous year.
