Filming A Room with a View: locations and how to visit
This beloved period romance turned a young woman's awakening into a love letter to Florence, and that is what still draws fans to retrace her steps. Less a film of grand action than of feeling and place, it makes the Tuscan city's beauty inseparable from the heroine's coming of age.
Florence carries the story, and its real set pieces are easy to find. The Piazza della Signoria, the city's great civic square ringed by its palazzo and statues, is where a shocking moment throws the heroine into the arms of fate. Nearby, the great Franciscan Basilica di Santa Croce, burial place of Michelangelo and Galileo, features as she explores the city. Both stand in Florence, Italy.
Because these landmarks sit at the heart of the historic centre, fans can fold them into a single walking day, pausing in the square and stepping inside the basilica. Florence rewards a slow, on-foot approach, making this one of the most effortless set-jetting strolls in Italy.
