L'amore nasce a Roma (i.e. "Love was born in Rome") is a 1958 Italian comedy film written and directed by Mario Amendola and starring Claudio Villa, Antonio Cifariello, Rossella Como and Valeria Moriconi.

[1][2] Lello, a painter, and Mario, a singer, move to Rome looking for fortune and success, their native country village far behind them.

They end up meeting Doretta and Silvia, two gracious flower stand sellers in Piazza di Spagna, and they immediately hit it off romantically.

Doretta falls for Lello, and Silvia for Mario, and together they do what they can to help out their new love interests navigate the city's many challenges.

Feeling slighted, Mario, out of sheer spite, takes Lello's brushes and proceeds to make his own paintings, which immediately attract interested buyers.
