Famous for its history, food, and culture (as well as for being shaped like a boot), Italy is one of Europe's brightest gems. The Mediterranean country is home to a rich physical landscape that has given it the ability to portray many locations on film, from rural villages in The Godfather trilogy to fictional planets in a galaxy far, far away.

The diverse geography of Italy has attracted some of the biggest names in cinema, including Christopher Nolan, Francis Ford Coppola, and Ridley Scott. Italy will also feature in the upcoming Ferrari biopic, which will star Adam Driver as the titular founder of the iconic car brand (via Deadline).
