Filming location for a few scenes of the 007 franchise, No Time To Die…. 2021. The square where James Bind fired the machine guns from his coupe, and the hotel they stayed in.

Trullo Houses at Alberrobelo….

Decided to add more details here because when I first created this input,
I was on the streets. Chatted with Brazilians and Italians at the Panoramic
Viewpoint. Had a Kampari with them, a local aperitif of the Puglia Region.

Visited an Olive Oil Manufacturing Facility too, and did ‘olive oil tasting’, conceptually similar to wine-tasting. By drinking or with bread… We chose the latter.

Bought a few bottles.

Ahh yes, just before we put Italy aside, would like to share a few more shots of the climb of Mt Etna, a live volcano on the Island of Sicily…

Mt Etna, there is white fumes billowing from the peak-crater…

The track was dangerous at some points when the slope falls to the bottom just beside us.

We were brought to a cave where hot-lava still flows. Climbed a narrow gorge which was a path taken by lava flows thousands of years ago. And there is a crack here where hot steam billows up from a cave and the air was warm thought it began to snow…
