He may be famed for portraying the
quintessential Englishman but for Italy, British actor Colin Firth has "amore"
and more.

"The celebrated actor, who received an Oscar for his work in the film 'The King's Speech,' has married a citizen of our nation and has repeatedly expressed his love for our country," it said in a statement.
