Where it was filmed 'Miss Fallaci'

The 8 episodes of Miss Fallaci directed by Luca Ribuoli, Giacomo Martelli, Alessandra Gonnella – produced by Paramount and Minerva Pictures – tell the story of Oriana Fallaci (Miriam Leone)’s early career in the Fifties. Not yet thirty, she challenged the entirely male universe of journalism by stubbornly refusing to accept the topics – fashion and gossip – deemed suitable for female editors or correspondents. On her first trip to the States, she travelled to New York and Hollywood to interview movie stars, painting a sharp, often crude and ironic portrait of American society.

Based on interviews and two of her early books, The Seven Sins of Hollywood and Penelope at War, the series was filmed mainly in Rome, but also in Florence.

“We recreated the places of Miss Fallaci's adventures: New York, Los Angeles, Milan, London and Florence in the late 1950s, we built them entirely in Rome and its surroundings. Fellini said that it is not necessary to go to real places to tell a story, because Rome has everything and we tried to do the same thing” notes director Luca Ribuoli.

New York locations were built in Cinecittà World, a theme park on the outskirts of Rome. Los Angeles, with its wide beaches, was recreated in Fregene, Anzio and other locations on the Lazio coast: a farm in via Riserva Nuova in Aprilia, Grand Hotel Duca d’Este in Tivoli Terme; Ostia Lido. The interiors of her Florentine home were built on a soundstage in via Tiburtina.

Plot

At the start of her career in the Fifties, when she worked as a reporter for the Italian weekly "L'Europeo", Oriana Fallaci was known as "the cinema girl". It was during this time that Fallaci transformed her first trip to the United States into a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, meeting extraordinary personalities and painting a sharp, often crude and ironic portrait of American society and the golden world of Hollywood. Those years were also marked by deep personal turmoil, including an intense and tormented relationship with her fellow journalist Alfredo Pieroni. A passionate relationship which caused insecurities and fears that eventually dragged Fallaci into a spiral of self-destruction. Above all, however, it was the time when she, a young woman of extraordinary determination and talent, discovered her mission: to tell the truth. She understood that she only needed her most powerful weapon to do that: her unique and distinctive voice.
