An original Italian 2 Fogli Prima Edizione for the 1962 film “Rome Adventure”, internationally released as “Lovers Must Learn”, featuring artwork by Angelo Cesselon.

An American romantic drama film, based on the 1932 novel Lovers Must Learn by Irving Fineman. It was directed by Delmer Daves and stars Troy Donahue, Angie Dickinson and Suzanne Pleshette.

After quitting her job as school librarian, Prudence Bell (Suzanne Pleshette) leaves New England for a vacation in Rome. On the ship over, she befriends Roberto Orlandi (Rossano Brazzi), a philandering middle-aged Italian.

Upon their arrival in Rome, he introduces her to a countess who rents rooms in her villa to tourists. After finding employment at an American bookstore, Prudence encounters architectural student Don Porter (Troy Donahue), one of several Americans also rooming at the villa. Don is recovering from a failed relationship with a blonde temptress, Lyda (Angie Dickinson).

Thus, he keeps his distance at first. But he slowly sees Prudence as a refreshing curiosity with her adventurous outlook on life. 

“Naturally, when a girl goes to Rome, there must first be an Italian lover and then of course, a charming young American to complete the course, of course!”
