Ripley · Filming location
Church of Santa Maria Maddalena, Atrani
In the story · Episode 1 (Tom arrives in Atrani)
A real filming location. The old bus that carries Tom along the coast leaves him below this church, whose dome and bell tower stand on a rock over the sea. From there he has to climb a long flight of steps to reach Dickie's house, one of the best remembered images of the first episode.
