Cinema in the North: Milan, the lakes and the film lowlands

From the glamour of House of Gucci in Milan to the summer of Call Me by Your Name in Crema: Northern Italy as a set for the big screen.

Not only Rome and Sicily: Northern Italy too has a long history of film sets, between metropolitan elegance, lakes and countryside.

Milan, between fashion and cinema

The chic Milan of the Brera district and its palaces is the backdrop of House of Gucci by Ridley Scott, with the fashion dynasty at the centre of the scene. The city combines design, aperitivo and great cinema.

Crema and Guadagnino’s lowlands

Not far away, the Crema countryside is the heart of Call Me by Your Name: the squares and arcades of Crema offer the suspended atmosphere of an unforgettable summer.
