Italy is the world's most filmed country after the USA. Roman Holiday made tourists put their hands in the Bocca della Verità. The Godfather sent them to Savoca and Forza d'Agrò in Sicily. Call Me by Your Name turned Crema into a pilgrimage. No Time to Die made Matera a Bond destination. Every film location is visitable. Most look exactly as they did on screen.
