Shooting on Alice Rohrwacher’s La Chimera began in early 2022 in various areas in Tuscia, starting in Tarquinia which provided many locations including piazza della Tribuna and the rock beneath Santa Maria in Castello, among many others. There was also a week’s shoot in Civitavecchia, on Frasca beach and at Torre Valdaliga Nord, beneath the power station, where the industrial area was used for scenes with vintage cars. Various municipalities in the province of Viterbo provided locations, including the tiny centre of Blera, established between the VIII and VII centuries BCE, the era when the numerous necropolises in the surroundings that make it famous were built.
La chimera also shot in areas of Southern Tuscany, in particular the area and town of Montalcino. Also in Tuscany, scenes were set on the disused Asciano-Monte Antico train track, known as the “Val d’Orcia railway”, and in the villages of Monte Amiata Scalo and Torrenieri, the setting for the opening scenes of the film where the main character Arthur (Josh O'Connor) reunites with his gang of grave robbers after being arrested.
