"A Wedding for Bella" (formerly titled "The Bread, My Sweet") was a 2001 motion picture that told the story of a successful businessman who trades in his single lifestyle to marry the estranged daughter of a terminally ill elderly woman whom he loves like a mother.

Written and directed by Melissa Martin, the film is set in Pittsburgh's Strip District, a thriving and diverse open-air market. Part love-story to the city that serves as its setting, the film is also a loving homage to the personalities of three people who each had a powerful impact on Ms. Martin.

Bella, the titular character, and her husband, Massimo, are the creative embodiments of an elderly Italian-American couple who owned, and lived above The Enrico Biscotti Company (the real-life Pittsburgh bakery currently owned by Ms. Martin's real-life husband, Larry Lagatutta, which served as an inspiration for the film).

The film was directed by Martin, and starred Scott Baio (as the businessman), Rosemary Prinz (as the dying elderly woman) and Shuler Hensley. Then 70 years old, Prinz, a soap opera mainstay, made her feature film debut.

Ms. Martin and her production partner, Adrienne Wehr, are currently in the process of producing their next joint feature, "The Loon".
