After a spell in Mexico City during the procession of skeletons on Dia de los Muertos, and in London at headquarters, the 24th James Bond film stops off in Rome before continuing its tour around the rest of the world, with sites of relevance including the Colosseum, Porta Pia, Borgo Pio, and St. Peter’s: monument after monument, we see the city flash by at 160km/h during a fast-paced car chase involving an Aston Martin and a Jaguar. The chase passes by via Nomentana and ends with Bond’s car plunging into the river Tiber, while our hero, picture-perfect and without a scratch, parachutes down onto the riverbank.
The interiors were reconstructed at Pinewood Studios in London, where the building inspired by the Royal Palace of Caserta and used for the meeting of Spectre, which seems to take place on Janiculum hill, was built.
The Museum of Roman Civilization was instead transformed for the occasion into the cemetery where Marco Sciarra’s funeral is held.
Filming took place, among other locations, in the Austrian municipalities of Sölden, Obertilliach, Altaussee, the Ötztal Glacier Road (the second highest paved road in Europe) and the Rettenbach glacier, and in the Moroccan cities of Tangeri, Oujda and Erfoud.
