The film is set all over Sicily, the author’s home island, Cimina, Palermo and Rome also feature. La Dolce Vita (1960) It is impossible to list Italian film locations and miss out La Dolce Vita. The most famous scene in the Trevi Fountain was filmed early in the year and the water was therefore rather chilly.

In this clever 1999 thriller, there are actually several places in Italy where key points of the story is set – including Rome, Venice, Anzio, Palermo, Naples, Ischia, and Positano. The Hotel Europa & Regina on the Grand Canal in Venice serves as the setting for Greenleaf’s hotel in the movie, the Martorana church on Piazza Bellini in Palermo is wh...
You may have been captivated by the beauty of the island where this sweet and sad 1994 film takes place. Well, you need look no further than the Italian island of Salina off the coast of Sicilyif you’d like to experience that beauty first-hand. You can even frolic along the same rocky coastline seen in the movie – they’re the Semaforo di Pollara ro...
The city of Matera in the Basilicata region serves as the setting for the crucifixion scene in this controversial 2004 film by Mel Gibson. Gibson was pleased that much of the city looks as it might have 2,000 years ago, thereby requiring little in the way of modification by the film crew. In addition to the crucifixion, the sets for flashbacks to J...
This quirky 2004 Bill Murray comedy uses several Italy locations as a backdrop, including Anzio, Naples, and the island of Ponza in the Campania region, as well as Rome in the Lazio region. Aside from some scenes which are clearly in Rome, the Italian locations could (for the most part) be just about anywhere in the Mediterranean. Anziois a popular...
Much of this 1999 prequel to the real Star Wars movies (AKA the ones I grew up with) was done with computers, but the coronation scenes are all set in the city of Caserta in the Campania region. It’s the Royal Palace of Caserta that serves as the Royal Palace of Naboo. The city of Caserta dates back to the 9th century, but the palace itself is mode...
When the Star Wars folks set about making the follow-up to Phantom Menace in 2002, they headed back to Caserta to do more filming at the Royal Palace – but they clearly enjoyed their time in Italy, because they didn’t limit themselves to just Caserta. Additionally, for Queen Padme’s home on Naboo, they used the impressive Villa del Balbianello whic...
With a name like that, you’d be disappointed if you found out this 2003 film was shot anywhere but in Italy – but don’t worry, you’ll have no reason to be disappointed. (Well, I was disappointed in the movie, but that’s another story.) There are lots of Italian settings in the film, including Florence, Arezzo, Montepulciano, and Cortona in Tuscany ...
This 1996 epic love story is actually largely set in Italy, although you might not realize it. For instance, the hotel scenes which are supposed to be in Cairo are actually set in the Grand Hotel des Bains on the Venice Lido. And Le Grand Hotel in Rome makes an appearance as well – the same hotel used in The Talented Mr. Ripley. The pool at the mon...
The Lombard town of Cremonaserves as the birthplace for the violin in this 1998 movie’s title, which is only appropriate – Cremona is the real-life home of the legendary Stradivarius violins. The city’s history dates from 400 B.C.E., and Cremona was an important city to the Romans – it served as a base from which Roman troops invaded an adjacent pr...
It’s quite possible to travel from Tuscany into Umbria and back again without realizing you’ve crossed a border. The two neighboring regions are incredibly similar, which is probably one of the reasons the filmmakers for this 2003 movie decided to set up shop outside Siena – which is in Tuscany – instead of a town in Umbria. Because much of the mov...
