Where it was filmed 'Three Brothers'

Donato Giuranna (Charles Vanel), an elderly farmworker, now alone in his farmhouse (Masseria Viti De Angelis in Altamura) in the Murge plateau of Apulia, walks down to the village to send telegrams to his three children informing them of their mother’s death. The post office is actually the town hall of Cassano delle Murge in piazza Aldo Moro (with the Church of Santa Maria Assunta behind). Further down the same square, his son Raffaele (Philippe Noiret) find some old friends in a bar. The landscape of the Murge plateau includes Gravina and spots in Matera, city and outskirts.

The three sons have each made a life in a different city: Rocco (Vittorio Mezzogiorno) is the director of a correction centre for minors in Naples, Nicola (Michele Placido) is a workman in Turin, Raffaele is a magistrate in Rome (one night he dreams of his death at the hands of terrorists in via Baiamonti, on the corner with Viale Mazzini). The four men are forced to deal with what they were and who they have become: Rocco meets the old parish priest and sits at the piano in an old church (part of the Convent of St. Francis in Miglionico); a memory of his youth takes Donato and his defunct wife to the beach of Lido Quarantotto on the Ionian coast in the Lucania area.
