Where is Porco Rosso set?

Where it is set

Why there is no pin

Wikidata records this anime as set in Adriatic Sea, and nothing finer. That is true and it is not a place: a dot in the middle of it would claim something nobody wrote, so the statement is left as a sentence.

This page exists because that is a better answer than silence. If a real place belongs here, it can be added to Wikidata, and this page fills in on the next rebuild.

Drawn from these real places

Nothing was filmed at these and the story does not happen in them. They are the real places this anime’s setting was modelled on, named in its Japanese Wikipedia article. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, so it is listed apart from everything above and never counted as a filming location.

1 place recorded on Wikidata, across Italy.

Which other productions are set in the same places?

Romeo and the Black Brothers (1995), each listed on this page.

Was Porco Rosso filmed anywhere?

No. An anime is drawn and filmed nowhere, so the places on this page are where its story is set, from Wikidata's narrative location and from Wikipedia's setting categories.

Where does this information come from?

Narrative location statements on Wikidata, and the setting categories Wikipedia editors file the work under, which are labelled per Wikipedia. Nothing is guessed from the plot.
