A classic whodunit mystery, as the characters go about their lives in 1920s Italy, when Benito Mussolini's brand of fascism was on the rise.<br />　　Set in the 1920s on the Italian Riviera, the series stars Natascha McElhone (Ronin, Californication, Halo) as Bella Ainsworth, the daughter of a wealthy industrialist who moves to Italy to set up a quintessentially British hotel in the breathtakingly beautiful town of Portofino. Mark Umbers (Home Fires, Mistresses, Collateral) plays Bella’s charming but dangerous aristocratic husband, Cecil, and Anna Chancellor (Four Weddings and a Funeral, The Hour, Mapp &amp; Lucia) costars as Lady Latchmere, the hotel’s most influential and hard-to-please guest.
