Villa Erba
It is 1972, and Luchino Visconti is back in his childhood summer house with an unfinished film. Villa Erba has become an editing room—and cinema is not finished with the place yet.
Warum der Umweg sich lohnt
Luchino Visconti spent childhood summers here and later returned to finish editing Ludwig. The family villa also helped shape the aristocratic atmosphere of films such as The Leopard, before appearing as the Night Fox’s estate in Ocean’s Twelve.
Villa Erba is a 19th-century villa located in Cernobbio on Lake Como's western shore. It serves as an exposition and congress center and is notable for its historical and cinematic significance.
