Please give me some books and movies taking place in the italian countryside.

Let me start off by saying yes, I have watched and read Call Me by Your Name. I would love it if the genre was romance, but it can be any other genre too, except for murder mystery and thrillers. I don't like those. I'm here for both LGBTQ and heterosexual romances. So please, hit me with the recommendations! Thanks.

Hmm, not my realm entirely so I dont have much, but if SE french countryside is close enough to Italian, I remember seeing Jean De Florette (and it's sequel) as a teenager and it having a decent impact.  It's very big on the clash between the country side and an urbanites romanticized view of it.  Spoiler:

Beware the Ribbon scene, you'll know it when you see it...
