Trivia

In the midst of the Rome shooting schedule, the film company packed up and headed north for ten days and nights of filming, near the town of Rimini, the capital of Emilia-Romagna. Within a few minutes of the seaside resort, the crew found itself in the village of San Leo. As noted by Dante Alighieri in his "Divine Comedy" (c. 1308-1320), San Leo boasts a magnificent 15th Century fortress, which serves a dual purpose. Its first appearance in the film is the setting for Leonardo da Vinci's workshop in the 16th Century. Its second appearance in the film is the present-day domicile of Darwin and Minerva Mayflower.
