ITALY Location Guide On The Tracks Of 007

On The Tracks of 007 presents ITALY - a James Bond location guide.

The book is written by Simon Firth, with a foreword by John Glen, editing and design by Martijn Mulder, cover design by Jeffrey Marshall.

ITALY is now available as a hardcover or paperback at the On The Tracks of 007 website.

Home to some of the world’s most beautiful cities, architecture, colours and landscapes, Italy was featured in two Roger Moore Bond films and four Daniel Craig Bond films.

Author Simon Firth charts each of the films’ locations in the country.

Speaking to more than 20 people on both sides of the Productions, location owners and those who help prepare the location for filming, and together with the history of the land, Simon asks;

• How was it ever possible to bring four industrial cranes into the tiny streets of Siena for Quantum Of Solace?
• What was filmed in Malta for The Spy Who Loved Me?
• What town was also considered as a location to film the majority of Italian sequences for No Time To Die?
• Is it possible to buy Mathis’ coastal villa from Quantum Of Solace?
• What was Ian Fleming’s post war view of Italy? Did his James Bond visit Italy?
• What is Cubby Broccoli’s heritage in Italy?

Illustrated with images from both the archives of On The Tracks of 007 and those interviewed from the films’ productions, ITALY is the definitive work charting James Bond in film and book as his adventures take you through the beauty and romance of this stunning country.

Filled with anecdotes, travel directions, maps and then/now comparison photos, this book is the ultimate guide to James Bond's adventures in ITALY, including these locations:
Venice, Lake Como & Garda, Carrara, Siena, Talamone, Cortina, Rome, Naples, Milan, Passo Di Pramollo, Sardinia, Matera, Gravina, Sapri, Maratea.

The book was launched in Matera, on October 7th 2021, just a week after the European premiere of the 25th Bond film No Time To Die.
