Storyline:  Tea with Mussolini 1999 In 1935 a group of elderly British women, whom the Italians have named the Scorpioni, have chosen Italy, specifically Florence, as a place to live to blend their proper British sensibilities with their love of Italian art and culture One of those Scorpioni, Mary Walsh Dame Joan Plowright, works as the English secretary for Paolo Innocente Massimo Ghini, who, in part because of his own wifes adamant refusal, largely neglects his illegitimate adolescent son, Luca Baird Wallace, despite Paolos want for Luca to grow up to be a proper young man, much like the English Luca has lived in an orphanage since his dressmaker mothers death, death a concept that Luca does not yet understand As such, he often runs away looking for his mother On a mutual agreement between Paolo and Mary, Mary becomes Lucas guardian, she who will receive help in raising Luca by her fellow Scorpioni and financial help from Paolo as needed Associated with the Scorpioni is a brash younger nouveau riche Jewish American woman named Elsa Morgenthal Cher, who, because of her affection for Lucas mother to whom she owed money, sets up a trust for Lucas future Amongst the Scorpioni, Lady Hester Random Dame Maggie Smith, the widow of the former ambassador to Italy, in particular and Elsa do not get along because of their fundamental outward differences The life for the Scorpioni changes with the on set of World War II, more specifically when Italy declares war on Britain and France Despite all of the Scorpioni taken into custody of sorts by the Italians, they are eventually housed in the comforts of a hotel Lady Hester wrongly believes it is her association with Mussolini Claudio Spadaro that has gotten them into their comfortable surroundings, but which in reality was arranged and paid for by Elsa Luca, who has just returned to Italy after attending school in Austria, helps Elsa with her efforts to assist those persecuted in Italy Luca, now a teenager, has fallen in love with Elsa As such, Luca is jealous of Elsas professional and personal relationship with Italian lawyer Vittorio Fanfanni Paolo Seganti Elsas own situation becomes more precarious with the United States entrance into the war, the Nazis increasing persecution of Jews, and Luca discovering that Fanfanni has ulterior motives in his relationship with Elsa Through it all, Mary still tries to be the voice of what is right to Luca, who may be tainted by his own immature teenaged thoughts during these difficult times
