Most of the locations in the film are real. The main setting is the inside of an apartment in Piazza Dante in Naples, the robbers’ hideout, while the exteriors were shot in the historic city centre.
The scenes filmed underground, portraying the sewers, were shot in the old aqueduct built on the orders of the Savoys in Capodimonte, and more specifically in a cistern measuring some hundred metres across and 25m tall, where Carmine, one of the robbers who ends up trapped with the loot, is pursued by police dogs.
The bank's vault was recreated in the Sala delle Grida at the Chamber of Commerce.
Last but not least, one of the epilogue scenes was filmed in the Galleria Principe di Napoli, where a shootout takes place between two members of the gang right under the noses of the police.
