In this classic romantic comedy, Audrey Hepburn plays a Princess who rebels against her regimented schedule and gets taken on a whirlwind tour around Rome with a charming yet conniving American news reporter.
On your camping holidays in Italy, why not rent a classic Vespa and take your own whirlwind tour around the city, whizzing past the Coliseum and arriving at the Spanish Steps, where Princess Ann (Audrey) famously tasted her first Italian gelati. The Castel Sant’Angelo was where the duo famously danced amongst the river barges, something you’ll most certainly feel like doing on your camping holiday in Italy after sampling Rome’s incredible ice cream.
Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade
Venice
Ah, the city of romance, winding canals and, the Holy Grail? Well that’s certainly what old Indiana Jones believed in his third movie. On your camping holiday in Italy you should start your quest for the Holy Grail at the Church of San Barnaba in Campo San Barbara, as it is here that Indiana Jones reveals some of the key clues to the whereabouts of this Holy Vessel. However, had he just stayed at home and stuck on the Da Vinci Code he’d have soon released that it was in Paris buried under the Louvre Gallery the entire time.
Life is Beautiful
Tuscany
Life is beautiful and so is Tuscany, should have been the title given to this Oscar winning tragic comedy about the holocaust. You’ll soon realise what we mean when you view the dramatic rolling hills and sloping Chianti filled vineyards on your Italy camping holiday. The first part of the film was filmed in Arezzo and the main square, or Piazza Grande, is instantly the most recognisable spot. It is here that the clownish character of Benigni spots his ‘Principessa’ for the second time. If you watch the film before your camping holiday in Italy, you will also instantly recognise the Piaggia San Martino, as the place where the key drops down from the heavens.
The Spy Who Loved Me
Sardinia
The sun kissed beaches of Sardinia provide the stunning backdrop to this James Bond movie. In fact, one of the most memorable Bond scenes of all time features in this film and takes place around the millionaire’s playground of Porto Cervo. The scene sees James Bond’s white Lotus Esprit being chased off a cliff by a sleek black helicopter. The car then falls into the water, and upon landing turns into a futuristic white submarine. You may not have a submarine in which to explore the area of Sardinia, but on your Italy camping holiday you can discover the varied underwater side of this island by taking part in one of the island’s renowned diving excursions.
Quantum of Solace
Lake Garda
It seems that 007 just can’t get enough of beautiful Italy, and who can blame him? The 2008 movie, Quantum of Solace opens with an action paced car chase beginning on Lake Garda and racing along the lakeside road to Malcesine. The pursuit then moves onto the mountainous region of Tremosine, before dropping again back to Lake Garda and the attractive town of Gargano. Whilst still being chased by persistent Alfa Romeo drivers, James heads nearly 200 miles south of Lake Garda and the pursuit finally ends in the beautiful marble quarries of Carrara, where Michelangelo often came to seek stone for his sculptures.
