Corrected entry: According to local law, when the external parts of "a 300 year old house" are restored, a special permission is needed, and not always conceded. So, even if the authorities agreed to do the "Polonia" writing, Frances, being the owner, should have asked for a permission, and it couldn't have been a surprise.

Corrected entry: This film uses a lot (maybe too many) Italian stereotypes, but they're all (the black-dressed old women, the jealous father, nice dressed men always trying with Frances) southern Italian ones. These are the most known Italian characters since most of the immigrant came from the south, but in this context, it's like placing a lot of cowboys in New York City.
Correction: I fail to see how using stereotypes is a movie mistake. Most movies have lots of them.

Correction: This mistake is not legitimate. This actually happened for the real-life Frances Mayes. Her Polish crew really did leave a mark of "Polonia" for her on her house, so whoever called this an error was mistaken.
