This only covers the New York, Rome and Venice filming locations. It was also shot in Naples, Ischia, Anzio, and Palermo. Many thanks to Lois for sharing her beautiful Rome pictures with me.

The theater where Tom works – Lyceum Theater, 149 W 45th Street, New York, New York. The Lyceum is the oldest surviving Broadway venue (along with the New Amsterdam Theatre), and one of the few theaters in New York City operating under its original name. It was granted landmark status in 1974.

Tom's apartment – Franklin Place, New York, New York.

On a jaunt to Rome, Tom and Dickie Greenleaf (Jude Law) meet Freddie Miles (Philip Seymour Hoffman) – Piazza Navona 80-84, Rome, Italy. Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fountain of the Four Rivers), created in 1651 by Gian Lorenzo Bernini for Pope Innocent X, serves as the backdrop for Freddie's dramatic appearance.

Abandoned by Dickie and Freddie, Tom goes sightseeing in Rome – Scala dell'Arce Capitolina, Campidoglio, Rome, Italy.
