While many movies these days are filmed on Hollywood sets or in front of green screens and full of fantastic animation, there’s nothing that can quite compare with a stunning – and real – Italy backdrop. So if you’re wondering where some of your favorite movies were filmed, here are 10 movies filmed in Italy – and where you can go to see the movie locations for yourself. The Talented Mr. RipleyIn 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 where Peter rehearses with the choir, Le Grand Hotel in Rome is where Ripley commits a particularly grisly act (which I won’t mention, as it’d be a major spoiler to do so!), and Venice’s famous Caffè Florian is where Marge lets on that she thinks something fishy’s going on. And those are just a few of the Italian locations used in the film! To highlight just one, Venice’s historic Caffè Florian has been serving happy customers since 1720, and enjoys a prime location on Piazza San Marco. You’ll pay more for a beverage or snack here than you will elsewhere in Venice, but oh – the view!
