FLASHBACK.

EXT. NAPLES COUNTRYSIDE, 20 YEARS EARLIER - DAY 

A hot, breezy summer day. A young vibrant Francesca is storming through an open field, angry, while Niccolo calls after her in pursuit. The following scene is played in Italian with subtitles. 

NICCOLO 

Francesca! Francesca! Where the hell 

are you going? 

FRANCESCA 

Leave me alone! 

NICCOLO 

You play these games and I'm supposed 

to follow -- run after you like 

a schoolboy. Well, I'm not! I'm fed up! 

Niccolo stops. Several yards ahead of him, Francesca stops and turns. Suddenly, she storms back towards him until they are face to face.

FLASHBACK ENDS.

MONTAGE:

Tony Bennett's up-tempo tone plays over a series of images of Francesca and Robert talk and prepare dinner.

-- Robert's hand gently touching Francesca's waist as he reaches around her for an onion. 

-- Robert lighting Francesca a cigarette. 

-- Robert brings in his cooker through the screen door. HE MAKES SURE IT DOESN'T SLAM. FRANCESCA MAKES A NOTE OF THIS.
