A Midsummer Nights Dream -
1999 - Italian Movie
Trips
Woodland faeries entertain themselves by throwing four
couples into romantic confusion, care of Shakespeare's wordplay combined
with Italy's stunning outdoor scenery.
Locations in Italy:
Caprarola
Built in the shape of a pentagon, the Palazzo Farnese in Caprarola is
almost perfectly symmetrical, with two main doorways, one atop the other
and connected by diamond shaped staircases on either side. Inside,
frescoes of 16-th century maps cover the walls. Not far away in the town
of Bomarzo you'll find a park full of sculptured monsters built by a
monomaniacal prince from the 16th century.
region name: Latium
Montepulciano
Montepulciano is a high, heavily fortified Renaissance city with
spectacular views of Tuscany. Among the medieval walls and cypress trees
you'll find a fine Renaissance plaza, many excellent opportunities to
enjoy the town's famous Vino Nobile wines along with international music
played in festivals throughout the summer.
region name: Tuscany
Sutri
Aside from its cinematic affiliations, Sutri certainly deserves a visit
for its exceptionally preserved Etruscan amphitheater, the only one of
its kind from the Etruscan era.
region name: Latium
Tivoli
You can't miss the opportunity to see some of Europe's greatest villas
built by Rome's retiring emperors and poets over the centuries.
Overlooking a river and with long views of Rome, Tivoli features the
unmatched Hadrian's Villa and Villa D'Este -- essentially massive
collections of world artifacts set amidst unsurpassed gardens of
intricate fountains and water pools
region name: Latium
Viterbo
Viterbo is a town where Romans and Popes of every kind have historically
chosen to take their vacations. The original homes in the medieval old
town are full of turrets and stairways snaking along the exteriors like
secret political meeting places or possibly escapes. Nearly as many
Popes have been appointed in Viterbo as in Rome, but it's always been
the intricate gothic architecture, and more especially, the extensive
spa with hot springs which brought them back.
region name: Latium
