Shooting will start on Saturday, April 6, 2019. Interesting places in the area are in the historical center of Matera (Cathedral, Piazza del Sedile, Via Ridola, Piazza San Francesco), views of the Sassi and the area of the Murgia.

Also possible locations are Palazzo Gattini in Piazza Duomo, Casa Diva in Via Giumella, the popular Hotel Sextantio in the Sasso Barisano and the Beach Restaurant Riva dei Ginepri, in Marina di Pisticci.
