Lucy Honeychurch (Helena Bonham Carter) gets a room without a view – Pensione Quisisana, Lungarno degli Archibusieri 4, Florence, Italy. The Pensione Quisisana was damaged by a car bomb blast in 1993 and had to close. It's now the Hotel degli Orafi.
The titular view was filmed from the terrace of a private residence across the Arno River.
Ponte Vecchio, Florence, Italy
Lucy and her chaperone Charlotte Bartlett (Maggie Smith) embark on a tour of Florence with another guest, novelist Eleanor Lavish (Judy Dench) - Piazza della Santissima Annunziata, Florence, Italy.
Eleanor salutes to the statue of Grand Duke Ferdinand I, Piazza della Santissima Annunziata, Florence, Italy.
Lucy wanders off to explore more sights alone – Santa Croce, Piazza Santa Croce 16, Florence, Italy.
The Santa Croce interior
Lucy looking at Dante's cenotaph - Santa Croce, Piazza Santa Croce 16, Florence. A cenotaph is an "empty tomb" or a monument erected in honor of someone whose remains are elsewhere. Dante is actually buried in Ravenna where he died in exile.
Lucy entering the Piazza della Signoria, Florence, Italy.
Lucy admires the sculptures at the Loggia dei Lanzi, Piazza della Signoria, Florence, Italy
One of the sculptures is Cellini’s "Perseus holding the head of Medusa."
Lucy witnesses a bloody fight between the locals by the Neptune Fountain, Piazza della Signoria, Florence, Italy
Lucy is consoled by George Emerson (Julian Sands) - Uffizi Gallery, Lungarno degli Archibusieri, Florence, Italy
The rest of the movie was filmed in England. I may cover these locations at some point.

ReplyDeleteI love this but I don't suppose you happen to know where the scene in the field where George kisses Lucy for the first time is? I know its in the hills of Fiesole but was hoping to get a more exact idea of the location as I am visitng there in a months time. thanks, Kate
ReplyDeleteSorry, Kate. I don't know. It's been a while since I was researching this film.
DeleteI lived on the slopes of Fiesole and did not recognize the meadow with such high grass. may be in private area...
ReplyDeleteI found the location…the villa website does mention the film being made in their grounds as well.
