James Bond at St Mark’s Square in Venice, Italy

Both ‘Moonraker’ and ‘Casino Royale’ were filmed in Venice (“Moonraker” in Venice &  ‘Casino Royale’ in Venice). The most spectacular location common to both films is the St Mark’s Square.

– St. Mark’s square in Venice.

‘Moonraker’ was filmed mostly in northeastern part of the square. Bond (Roger Moore) entered the Venini shop located at Piazzetta dei Leoncini, next to St Mark’s Basilica and the corner of St Mark’s Square. Real Venini shop was there until 2020. Unfortunately it was closed because of lack of customers during lockdown. It was replaced with Giobagnara shop.

There is a clock tower called Torre dell’Orologio next to the shop . Bond finished the fight with the villain Chang (Toshiro Suga) by throwing him through the clock face and onto the piano standing under the tower.

Later in the film, at the end of the chase through the canals in Venice, Bond returned to the square in a gondola. Below is a video showing the behind-the-scenes of this scene.

Walking along the north side of the square you will get to the passage called Sotoportego del Cavalletto. It was filming location of the scene with James Bond (Daniel Craig) noticing Vesper (Eva Green) walking away with suitcase full of money in ‘Casino Royale’.

A few steps away in the eastern corner of the square you will get to Longchamp shop. It was Basel Bank in ‘Casino Royale’.

Through the window you can see interior of the shop that was designed as a bank lobby just for the film.

Standing there you would notice that James Bond didn’t take the shortest route from the hotel to the bank. He ran into the square from its southern corner (right side of the photo below). Later the camera was directed towards St Mark’s Basilica as in the photo below. 007 was running from left (eastern corner) to the right (southern corner).

Finally he came to the Basel Bank located in the corner on the left (eastern corner).

At the beginning of ‘Moonraker’ James Bond (Roger Moore) arrived to California in USA to visit Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale) in his residence. After shot discussion with main villain 007 went with Corinne Dufour (Corinne Clery) to meet Dr. Holly Goodhead (Lois Chiles) in her office.

Exterior and Grand Salon of Californian residence was filmed at the Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte around 50 km southeast of Paris. Glass corridor and Dr. Goodhead’s office at its end were filmed in Centre Georges Pompidou located in the Beaubourg area in Paris. Below you can see a few photos with that extraordinary building.
