I know it's Italy but anybody knows where? Tks.

I'm fairly certain that it was filmed in Pebble Beach and Carmel, California. At one point, you can clearly see The Lone Cypress behind them.

Tks, that is interesting..so they never went to Italy at all?

Well, Mr. Imperium's gorgeous home is actually the Crocker Mansion at Pescadero Point...and the whole bit done on the little wagon, they are rolling down the 17 Mile Drive in Pebble Beach.
I missed the beginning of the movie, so I can't say for certain, but what I saw was in California!

I`m certain it was filmed in and around Carmel, California, and 17 Mile Drive. One shot shows
the famous lone tree atop a large seaside rock, in the background through foreground trees.

As for the background shots from Italy, a couple are from Porto Fino (north west coast) when they are boating and another i believe is from Rapello nearby. (it is fun to find locals using google earth)
