The Second Wife () is a 1998 Italian coming-of-age comedy-drama film co-written and directed by Ugo Chiti and starring Maria Grazia Cucinotta. It premiered at the 55th Venice International Film Festival.
The film was shot in Tuscany, with principal photography starting in August 2017.
The film had its world premiere at the 55th edition of the Venice Film Festival, in the Prospectives sidebar.
Variety's critic David Rooney described the film as a "technically polished" film with a "cliched story" that looks like "a comparatively chaste version of the rustic sexfests made by Tinto Brass in the 1980s". Svet Atanasov from DVD Talk favorably compared the film to Giuseppe Tornatore's Malèna and called it "a pleasant surprise" and "a very enjoyable film, one that relies on a well structured plot bringing quite a twist to the finale". Paolo Mereghetti panned the film, describing it as "a festival of banalities" that "looks like a Mulino Bianco commercial".
