The Turin where the main characters live is one of squares and wide-open spaces contrasting with the narrow, rather claustrophobic interiors, such as the Vallette prison where Lisa returns every night after working in a building in Piazza Solferino, where we see her and Alberto pass several times. Alberto also walks beneath the porticoes of Piazza San Carlo and Piazza Vittorio Veneto, stopping to think on Lungo Po. The city’s stations are also present in the film: Porta Susa Station where Lisa is supposed to leave for Bologna but changes her mind after finding out Alberto’s identity, and Porta Nuova Station from where he travels for a surgical operation.
