The scene : The interiors of the film were shot in the Roman studios, which three sources report for this shoot.
Milano, Italy
Film studios opened in 1945 in the Barona district, covering 7,000 m², in place of those of the ATA at the Triennale. Their two soundstages burned down before the first shot and were immediately rebuilt by Ferruccio Caramelli. Taken over in 1955 by the Corti family, they became Icet-De Paolis in 1961, and left Milan in 1965 for Cologno Monzese, where they founded Cinelandia — acquired by the Fininvest group in 1983.
The scene : Some of the film's interiors were shot on these sets at Barona, along the Navigli. A history of Milanese cinema specifically ties the film to these studios; the shooting lists also mention them, but mistakenly place them in Rome.
