To Rome with Love is a 2012 magical realist romantic comedy film written and directed by, and co-starring, Woody Allen in his first acting appearance since 2006. It is his most recent appearance in a film he directed. Set in Rome, the film was released in Italian theaters on April 13, 2012, and opened in Los Angeles and New York City on June 22, 2012.

The film features an ensemble cast and is told in four separate vignettes: a clerk who wakes up to find himself a celebrity, an architect who takes a trip back to the street he lived on as a student, a young couple on their honeymoon, and an Italian funeral director whose uncanny singing ability enraptures his soon to be in-law, an American opera director. Most of the music for the film was performed by arranger, conductor and accordionist Angelo DiPippo, and recorded and mixed by engineer Fred Guarino, owner of the Tiki recording studio in Glen Cove.
