We are still waiting for a movie that celebrates the romantic side of Italy like this one. If you think you’re a hopeless romantic, well, this movie is for you. If you don’t find yourself to be one, there are high chances that you will become one after watching this. Do we sound confusing? Well, you’ll have to watch the movie to understand what we mean.

Would you believe us if we told you that it was possible to Modena and Pienza while sitting in the comfort of your room? The show based on comic Aziz Ansari’s real-life transports you to the real world via an Italian wedding, some pasta making, and a whole lot of breathtaking visuals.

The Two Popes is the story of Cardinal Bergoglio (Jonathan Pryce), the future Pope Francis and the ageing Pope Benedict XVI (Anthony Hopkins). Parts of the show was filmed at Casa Gandolfo—Pope Benedict’s summer residence and the rest of it was shot on recreated sets, which are so real, you would never realise, it’s not the real Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel.
