When I returned to Venice in Italy this summer, I’ve decided to take some photos that were missing from my previous articles: “Moonraker” in Venice and  ‘Casino Royale’ in Venice. This time I would like to invite you for a walk around St Mark’s Square.St. Mark's square in Venice, ItalyLet’s begin the tour from small square called Piazzetta dei Leoncini next to St Mark’s Basilica and the north corner of St Mark’s Square. You will find there Venini shop, known from ‘Moonraker’.Venini shop at Piazzetta dei Leoncini in Venice, ItalyIt’s been 40 years already since Roger Moore as James Bond entered Venini Glass, but not many detailes have changed. There is no sunblind above the antrance to the shop as in the movie and the door has been moved a bit, but every Bond fan will recognize that place.Venini shop at Piazzetta dei Leoncini in Venice, ItalyNext to the shop there is a clock tower called Torre dell’Orologio, that was filmed at the end of fight scene with James Bond and the villain Chang (Toshiro Suga), also in ‘Moonraker’.Torre dell'Orologio at St. Mark's square in Venice, ItalyWhen they were fighting, there was a live concert right below the tower. Chang fell on the piano that was standing in the same place as the group of tourists in the next photo.Torre dell'Orologio at St. Mark's square in Venice, ItalyWalking 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’.Sotoportego del Cavalletto at St. Mark's square in Venice, ItalyA few steps away in the eastern corner of the square you will get to Longchamp shop. It was Basel Bank in ‘Casino Royale’.Longchamp shop at St. Mark's square in Venice, ItalyThrough the window you can see interior of the shop that was designed as a bank lobby just for the film.Longchamp shop at St. Mark's square in Venice, ItalyStanding 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).

‘Casino Royale’ in Venice

007, Casino Royale, filming location, Italy, James Bond, James Bond location, movie location, travel, Venice

James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Vesper Lynd (Eva Green) sailed to Venice in Italy. While Vesper was standing at the helm of a yacht, Bond was writing a resignation letter on his laptop. As they were sailing along the Grand Canal, Vesper noticed Adolph Gettler (Richard Sammel), who was the Quantum agent. 007 and the girl stayed in a hotel located at Saint Mark’s Square.

Seen in the film 54 foot yacht named ‘Spirit’, was built by Spirit Yachts Ltd in Suffolk, UK. It was the first sailing yacht to go up the Grand Canal in Venice in 300 years.

When Bond and Vesper were approaching Venice, most famous buildings in the city were seen in background. There was tower of San Giorgio Maggiore on the left, Saint Mark’s campanile on the right and Santa Maria della Salute in the middle (all of them in photos below).

It is not necessary to buy a boat to see the view that was in front of Bond and Vesper. One of the possibilities it to take a Vaporetto to Sant’Elena. Not many tourists go that far, therefore it is a very peacefull an quiet place. As you can see in photos below, while watching the view you can relax on a bench in a park or use outdoor gym.

Venice, ItalyVenice, ItalyWhen James Bond was writing the resignation letter, there was Santa Maria della Salute Basilica visible in background (photo below). On his laptop monitor you could see his e-mail inbox with fictitious email addresses of film crew members: Anne Bennet (Publicity and Marketing) – anne.bennett@thenet.com, Chris McBride (Computer & Video Supervisor) – chris.mcbride@thenet.com, Neil Pinkawa (lead screen graphics artist) and David Hicks (lead motion graphics designer). Basilica Santa Maria della Salute in VeniceWhen Vesper left the hotel room, M called and asked 007 about the money that he won in Casino Royale. Bond immediately called the Swiss banker and got information that while they were talking someone was withdrawing the money in a bank located at Saint Mark’s Square in Venice. James Bond guessed that it was Vesper who stole the money and ran after her.Saint Mark's Square in Venice, ItalyThe hotel where Bond and Vesper stayed didn’t exist. The hotel lobby scenes were filmed at the Czech National Museum in Prague.

It was June 2006 when film crew was working in Venice. Because of about 400 extras and big number of tourists around it was very difficult to film the scene with Bond running around the Saint Mark’s Square. The bank was located in Saint Mark’s Square corner, from which the photo presented below was taken. In the film you could see ‘Basel Bank’ sign above the door. In reality there is ‘BANCA COMMERCIALE ITALIANA’ sign instead.Saint Mark's Square in Venice, ItalyJames Bond tried to find Vesper under arcades that you can see in photo below. Finally he saw her walking on the bridge located at Sotoportego del Cavalletton street. The entrance to that street from Saint Mark’s Square is located behind fifth arch from the right in photo below. Saint Mark's Square in Venice, ItalyIn the next scene Eva Green who played Vesper was walking alone on Ponte del Malpaga bridge (see photo below). Daniel Craig was looking at her from the bridge connecting Fondamenta Toletta and Calle Lotto from which the photo was taken.Ponte del Malpaga in Venice, ItalyBond followed Vesper down the Sotoportego de le Colonne. As she passed over the Ponte de le Colonne bridge she looked back, but she couldn’t see 007 who was hidden in the shadows.

The villain saw James Bond hiding behind the column and took Vesper hostage. Gettler’s men tried to shoot 007.

The sequence was filmed in the courtyard of Conservatorio di musica Benedetto Marcello, that was also ‘Moonraker’ filming location (read more: ‘Moonraker’ in Venice). Main entrance to the building was located at Campiello Pisani, however Vesper entered the side door, which is visible in the photo below.Conservatorio di musica Benedetto Marcello in VeniceShe turned left and passed through the doors (that are closed in photo below) to the courtyard.Conservatorio di musica Benedetto Marcello in VeniceNext photo was taken from the courtyard.

Vesper and Gettler were standing in the middle of the courtyard.

During the fight the building started to sink.

The sequence with the building collapsing into the Grand Canal was filmed in Pinewood studio, however buildings around were all real and shot on location. Collapsing building was digitally inserted and replaced Lion Morosini Palace (second from right in photo below).

In the studio the 1/3-scale miniature of the building was built for exterior shots. It had more than 100 different parts designed to fall off.

The inside of the sinking house was built on a special rig that measured 45 foot by 40 foot and was 45 foot high. Canal Grande in Venice, ItalyThe scene with people looking at sinking building was filmed at Campo Erberia (photo below). Canal Grande in Venice, ItalyAfter Vesper’s death James Bond was sitting on the yacht’s deck and talking on the phone with M. The scene was filmed at Santi Cosma e Damiano church. Behind 007 the dome of Santa Maria della Salute (in photo below) was visible.Basilica Santa Maria della Salute in Venice

James Bond returned to Venice in 1978 in “Moonraker” (15 years after “From Russia with Love”). 007 played by Roger Moore arrived by gondola to St. Mark’s Square (see photos below presenting filming location of that scene).

Gondolas in VeniceGondolas in VeniceHe entered the museum-lobby of the Venini Glass Works that belonged to his main opponent – Hugo Drax. The scene was filmed in real Venini shop located at Piazzetta dei Leoncini next to Saint Mark’s Basilica (in the center of the photo below).

Piazza San Marco in Venice, Italy

The interior of glass museum was shot at Boulogne Studios in France, in a building that had been a Luftwaffe factory during World War II. Bond noticed Dr. Goodhead (played by Lois Chiles), space specialist working for Drax and followed her. They left the museum with rear exit. That scene was filmed in the courtyard of Conservatorio di musica Benedetto Marcello. The entrance to that building is shown in the picture below.

James Bond was standing behind the column and looking at Dr. Goodhead walking to the stairwell. The stairwell is clearly visible in next pictures taken from another side. It is worth noticing that the same courtyard was used as location in “Casino Royale”.

It was filmed at La Scuola nuova della Misericordia (pictured below), however the building was not seen.

La Scuola nuova della Misericordia in Venice, ItalyI visited this place 40 years after Roger Moore and Lois Chiles were standing there, however the place has not changed much. There are only some new details, such as city monitoring warning sign (pictured below), that would probably be seen in background.

Gondola in Venice, ItalyChase sequence ended when James Bond arrived at St. Mark’s Square and converted the gondola into a land-capable hovercraft. The sequence with gondola leaving the water (see filming location in photos below) had to be repeated six times because the vehicle was not stable and Roger Moore was falling into water.

Gondolas in VeniceGondola in VeniceJames Bond in the gondola converted into the hoovercraft was riding next to the Doge’s Palace (photo below) and then on St. Mark’s Square (next photos). Specially designed gondola with Ford chassis had a horn to worn surprised tourists. St. Mark’s Square could not be entirely closed so there was a lot of unaware people among actors and extras.
