1948 / ON LOCATION
Postwar Rome becomes the film’s working map of precarity, pursuit and moral exhaustion.
Bicycle Thieves was made in the streets of postwar Rome, and this route now follows only places established by the Italy for Movies location record. Piazza Vittorio and Porta Portese belong to Antonio’s search through the city’s markets; the Gazometro appears as he follows the thief and the beggar; Santi Nereo e Achilleo and Ponte Duca d’Aosta carry the pursuit north. Famous monuments that were previously attached without title-specific evidence have been removed.
5 public-place or area references. Private properties and unlocated historic sites stay off the map.
