Filming locations inside Genoa

5 places inside Genoa, each with a page of their own. Every production shot at them is already listed above, because Wikidata records them against Genoa too.

Named here by Genoa’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Genoa, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

Pirates 1986

“In 1985 were filmed in Genoa some scenes of Pirates by Roman Polanski, finished shooting they left in the Old Harbour the galleon Neptune.” Wikipedia

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Genoa, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement: two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
