Emotional scene with Flavio and Laura

I saw a couple of episodes when I was in Italy. I could go on forever literally singing the praises of Flavio's acting talents. This particular clip I saw is on Youtube.com, not to do plugs for any site. This scene involved Flavio and Laura, both respectively well played by the sexy Flavio Insinna and the lovely Melina Miconi. It involves a building fire, and Flavio rushes into the building to find his beloved Laura unconscious inside the burning building. He carries her out of the smoky building, and the rest involves a very emotional scene between the 2 lovers. Now, for the record, my Italian is lousy, so half of the time, I didn't understand what was being said. The only complaint I have is that how come no firefighters came to Flavio's aid while he was trying to resuscitate (sp.?) Laura, and they just walked by him as he ran out of the building carrying her. He's determined not to let her die. When she regained consciousness, he started telling her how much he really loves her, and the corniest part in the movie was when after he proposed to her, a gold nut bolt was lying on the ground. He picked it up and put it on her finger as if it were a real engagement ring. I could watch this very beautiful scene over and over again.
