Sabrina Goes To Rome (1998)

SABRINA GOES TO ROME may be a story about a teenage witch introduced to us in ARCHIE COMICS, but to me it's a story about a girl tracing her roots.

As the title states, it is set in Rome, the principal city of the region of Lazio, and the capital city of Italy.  

The place is really beautiful, but it is also filled with people who just want to take advantage of you.  Sabrina meets a couple of those people, and for the duration of her stay there, she sort of cheated on Harvey with one of them, played by Eddie Mills...well, let's just say that this happened before she and Harvey became official, or maybe they were on a break or something.

It's easy to understand why Sabrina would fall for Paul(the name of the guy we are talking about), because deep down, he's actually a nice guy trapped in a hoodlum's body(exage!).  

Thankfully, Sabrina also meets Gwen(Tara Charendoff) and Alberto(Eric Alexander), who become true friends of hers.  During her stay in Rome, they become like a north star(two become one) for Sabrina, even if they are a bit odd to the eyes of many.

I like this film.  It makes my heart feel young again every time I watch it.

Well, I guess I said enough already.

Thanks for your time.

From imdb

American teenage witch Sabrina and her food-obsessed magical talking cat and mouse travel to Rome, the last whereabout of her 16th-century aunt Sophia, who was banished after breaking the rule not to divulge her powers to a non-witch; her mission is to find out how Sophia can be freed by opening her golden locket. Sabrina stays with her Italian relatives; notably niece Gwen, an certain and therefore dangerously clumsy budding witch, actually joins her quest there. Being seen using magic, Sabrina gets followed by two tabloid reporters, Paul and Travis, who are promised at least $100,000 if they can expose a real witch, but Paul, an American-adopted Italian, who set out a to win her confidence to trick her easier till they can take a picture of her witchcraft, actually falls in love with her. Gwen has her own Roman admirer, timid Alberto, but impatience for him to make a move causes her to accidentally transform him into a street pigeon. The girls find only one way to Sophia's secret: a portrait by an obscure Renaissance painter, who meant more in auntie's life...—KGF Vissers
