00:00Lei ha vissuto per parecchio tempo in Italia, anche a Firenze e a Siena.
00:04A Luca invece è arrivato ieri. Come l'ha sembrata?
00:08E poi, cosa deve avere un luogo per farle dire
00:10qua sarebbe bello ambientarci un film e sarebbe possibile farlo a Luca?
00:17Well, Luca è una città molto bella.
00:19I mean, you have certi città qui sono straordinarie.
00:24Quando you're making a movie, you have a certain kind of...
00:30time limit to what you're doing.
00:33So, for example, even though Dante lived in Ravenna, died in Ravenna.
00:41We didn't shoot in Ravenna.
00:43We said we did.
00:44I've been to Ravenna, but it was too much to go to Ravenna
00:50and just from where we were, we shot in Tarquinia
00:56for, excuse me, Tarquinia for Florence
01:00because Florence doesn't look like it did in 1302.
01:04So, we picked locations that were correct in terms of when they were built.
01:10For example, Guido da Polenta's house, his house, in fact, is the main square of Verona.
01:19But there was a fair, una fiera, going on that day.
01:24So, I had to change the location, but I did it in Verona on a 12th century bridge
01:31that is, that could have been there at that time.
01:35And just, there was a hole in the wall, un buco.
01:37So, I put a door in front of it and made it like that was part of the entrance to
01:41his house.
01:44In San Vito lo Capo, I turned that into Bora Bora, Trapani, or Musaumia.
01:57It's the name of Musaumia.
02:00It's in the middle of Sicily.
02:02So, I took the mountain and I put it in the middle of the water
02:07and then I added these steps that I found near Trapani
02:11to make the island that he goes to.
02:15So, it's a come, and also, so yeah, I shot in Kakamo instead of Alkamo.
02:20I shot in near Palermo, near Modelo.
02:27But my choices have to do with locations that are authentic.
02:33I'm not going to have a painting from the 1500s
02:38in a building that's from the 13th century,
02:46but I can show the paintings in the Marchana Library
02:51that were done by Titian and Veronesi later in the 21st century
02:55when he's coming there to visit Susana Palice.
02:58And we're shooting, actually, in the Marchana Library,
03:01which I decided to shoot in instead of the Marchana Library in London,
03:07which is where Nick wrote the scene,
03:10but I wanted to do it in Venice
03:11because Dante used to go to visit this guy
03:19on top of the stables in Venice,
03:21and I thought, okay, you know,
03:23he had to write letters and do things.
03:26While he was in exile, this was his work,
03:28writing correspondences and things like that.
03:31Okay, thank you.
03:33Thank you.
03:34Thank you.
03:37Grazie a tutti
