After Robert Langdon is approached by the Vatican at Harvard University to ask him to help them with their problems and the anti-matter is stolen from Zurich, the action switches to Rome and Vatican City fo the rest of the film. Firstly, see the Vatican staff setting up for the Cardinals to head into Conclave. The Pope has just passed away, and Con...
Next, Robert Langdon shows up in Vatican City and meets with the head of the Vatican Police outside St Peter’s Basilica. The Basilica is the largest church in the world and you absolutely shouldn’t miss it when you visit Rome. Naturally, a lot of the action in Angels and Demons happens at St Peter’s Basilica. But the scenes were all shot elsewhere,...
The courtyard of this library stood in for a Vatican car parkwhere Robert and Dr Vetra set off on their quest around Rome to find the path of illumination. It’s the scene just after the one where Robert gets permission from the Camerlengo to access the Vatican Archives. If you’re into libraries, you should check out Biblioteca Angelica. Even though...
The first stop on the quest to find the four missing cardinals and the canister of anti-matter is none other than the Pantheon, the oldest Catholic church in Rome. The scenes inside the Pantheon are definitely all CGI’d. But I think the scenes shot outside on Piazza Della Rotondalook authentic enough. The pair believe this church to be the first ma...
Robert and Vittoria drive around the obelisk in the centre of Piazza del Popolo (commenting on the connection to the Illuminati) before hightailing it into the Chigi Chapel in the Church of Santa Maria del Popolo. This is the church that represents ‘earth.’ Angels and Demons recreated the interior of the church, crypt and chapel inside a studio. I ...
After discovering the second point on the path of illumination is St Peter’s Square (Bernini’s wind tiles represent ‘air’), the team head back into St Peter’s Basilicaand the Vatican Archives. It’s here that Robert figures out that the next church on the path (the ‘fire’ church) is Cornaro Chapel in the Church of Santa Maria Della Vittoria. Natural...
The ‘water’ marker on the path is the Fountain of the Four Rivers, a sculpture/fountain that Bernini designed in Piazza Navona. The angel in question pointing the way is the ‘angel of peace’, the dove, on top of the obelisk in Piazza Navona. I seriously did not realise how many Egyptian obelisks there are in Rome! It’s here that Robert Langdon hero...
The last location on the path of illumination is Castel Sant’Angelo, where the kidnapper was hiding the cardinals. And where the canister of anti-matter AKA big bomb is too! Finally, the end is in sight. To be honest, it does look like the castle was used as a real-life film location. It’s not necessarily a religious building so that may not have b...
- Season two goes globetrotting. Obvious from our encounter with not-Italy, season two sets sail to far-flung locations. David Goyer elaborates: “A big chunk of the second season doesn’t take place in Florence.
- They Googled Machu Picchu. Production Designer Ed Thomas, who also worked on Doctor Who and Torchwood, told us about recreating Incan temple Machu Picchu in a Swansea car park
- There’s an Indiana Jones feel to the second season. Tom Riley, who plays Leonardo, told us, “This season is more Indiana Jones-y than last season. There’s a lot more action, adventure, stunts and things blowing up in foreign climes.
- Leonardo da Vinci designed the TARDIS. Seeing as so much artistic licence is taken with the sets, we asked Ed Thomas whether it was fairly similar to production design for Doctor Who’s locations, both being fantastic works of the imagination?
A fictionalised story based on historical persons, the series explores the early life of Leonardo da Vinci during the Renaissance in Italy. He is an eccentric genius who has struggled to deal with his inner demons and unruly imagination, as he yearns for acceptance from his estranged father.
Eventually he becomes the most famous artist of all time -- a mythic figure in history -- but the path that forged Leonardo da Vinci's gift of superhuman genius is fraught with conflict as he...
