L'Aquila is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 4 productions, in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.
1 production was filmed at 1 place inside L'Aquila rather than at L'Aquila itself: listed below, each with the place it was shot.
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names L'Aquila as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is, each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.
Movies filmed elsewhere in L'Aquila
1 production shot at 1 place inside L'Aquila, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against L'Aquila itself.

Named here by L'Aquila’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at L'Aquila, 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.
