Angela Scatigna's debut.

Despite being filmed in Florence, where many of the locations that are part of the Romola story still stand, the filmmakers chose to recreate most of them in a nearby studio. The Piazza della Signoria and an exterior of the Palazzo Vecchio were constructed for the film. The production took great advantage of Italy's well-known filmmaking infrastructure and cheep labor.
