YES! Finally.
You're lucky! I'm actually legitimately planning on adopting Lucia as my middle name once I finally get around to legally changing my name.
Is is terribly underrated in general-- it has such a comforting, almost magical quality to it. I love all of the simmering, barely-repressed longing beneath Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison's prim and proper demeanor. Plus, it's endlessly re-watchable, and that monologue absolutely ruins me single time. (I also confess that I have watched every single cheesy Youtube musical tribute video)
"It's been a dream, Lucia..."
