La Dolce Vita · Filming location
Aqueduct Park
In the story · Opening shot (the helicopter over the aqueduct)
A real filming location. The very first image: the helicopter carrying the statue of Christ flies along the arches of the ancient Claudian aqueduct, as workers run below waving. The arches still stand in the open fields of this park on the edge of the city.

Where to stand for the photo
From the path beside the arches, frame them stretching away in a line; the low evening light is best.
