Italy and France Clash Over 'Emily in Paris' Setting Shift

The move of the show's location from Paris to Rome has sparked a light-hearted diplomatic spat between the two nations.

French President Emmanuel Macron has expressed dissatisfaction with the decision to feature more of Rome in the upcoming season of 'Emily in Paris'.
Macron emphasized the show's economic benefits to Paris, highlighting its role in boosting tourism and global interest in the city.
Rome's mayor Roberto Gualtieri responded with humor, suggesting that Emily should have the freedom to choose between the two cities.
The series' portrayal of Rome has drawn criticism from some Italians for its idealized depiction, omitting the city's real-life challenges.
Despite the diplomatic banter, fans of the show continue to enjoy its escapist charm, with high expectations for the next season.
