Places per Italian Wikipedia's article

Italian Wikipedia’s article names 1 place. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.

From published sources

Places a newspaper, a film office, a broadcaster, a national film archive, a city filming permit or the production itself names, where no wiki records them. Each one below says where it comes from, with its source linked beside it: a sentence found on its page and read before the place was added, a permit a person matched to the production, or an archive's own record of the spot and the scene.

Recorded only at country level

Wikidata also records this film as shot in Finland, without saying where. Those statements are true but unmappable (a pin in the middle of a country would claim something nobody wrote), so they are listed here instead of guessed at.
