The British director, Greenaway, is already in the historic center these days with part of the crew to carry out the final inspections while waiting for the take. All filming sets will be iconic locations in the city. In addition to Piazza Antelminelli, they are also planned in Piazza San Salvatore, in Via dei Fossi, on the walls and inside the former warehouses of the Tabacchi Factory in Via Filzi. A services conference between the municipal offices is being planned in these days to define the details of the last part of the project managed by the tourism councilor Remo Santini.

The film that brought golden business to the city both economically and globally, will debut in theaters in the first months of 2025.
