Julia Roberts enjoyed romance in the fast lane yesterday as she cruised around the streets of Italy with her husband Danny Moder.

In a scene reminiscent of Roman Holiday, the pair rode around the city together on a Vespa while the actress was on a break from filming her new thriller, Duplicity.

It was an afternoon day off for Moder, who is also working on the movie as a cameraman.

La dolce vita: The pair recreated the famous scene from Roman Holiday which stars Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck


The couple, who are parents to twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 3, and Henry, almost 1, have certainly had a taste of la dolce vita during their stay.

They have also been spotted strolling hand in hand around the historic Pantheon while in the city.

The film, which follows two corporate spies with a romantic past, also stars Clive Owen, who appeared alongside Julia in the 2004 film Closer.

It's the first moive Julia, who was once one of the highest earning Hollywood actresses, has worked on since welcoming her third child.

The 40-year-old has previously said motherhood has completely changed her prioties.

She told Oprah: "I appreciate life more. I don't feel like I have to be constantly striving."
