SOLVED. Novel: Art Restorer works on damaged art after the river Arno floods in Florence in 1966. [s]

[Terri]

I think the word "Pleasure" may be included in the title. A young woman who is an art conservator/restorer travel to Florence Italy in 1966 after the Arno river floods, damaging a lot of art. I think the novel becomes something of a love story after that, but I can't remember if there are other elements to the story besides the romance.
