Turin place where director stayed?

Does anyone know the name of the residence where Peter Collinson stayed in Turin during filming? I think it is near the Villa Della Regina (the hideout). I have a feeling the black and white Beckerman section was filmed there. I will be in Turin on 24th March 2010 to check it out. I also want to find the 'police station' where the fat lady and Professor Peach were taken to. Any ideas?

Thanks for any help.

Hi John,

The address for the "Police Station" is Via Corso Vinzaglio 10.

This address was also used for the films production office.

Will be there is July taking a Tour.

Have also located the electrical sub station that Michael Caine throws his push bike at.

As well as the Hotel the film crew stayed at during filming.

Steve,

The 'Police Station' is not at that place. I was there this March. Questura is there, but the plaque on the wall on the film is fake. We think it is a church - but how many churches are there in Turin???

I photographed the electrical substation in March - see my Webshots pages (last picture in the Italian Job Alps section).

I also know the hotels used in Aosta and Turin thanks.

John.

My movie location pictures are at .....

Webshots has been bought out, everyone who uses the site has to transit over to the new site. Please keep us posted on where we can see your great pics in the future.
