Various scenes from Le tentazioni del Dottor Antonio were shot in the EUR neighbourhood in Rome. A photo shoot is taking place on the steps of the Basilica dei Santissimi Pietro e Paolo, in viale Europa. The following images show light-hearted moments in the capital city: bathers are enjoying themselves in pedalo boats on the EUR lake, via Cristoforo Colombo, while others lounge outside the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana. Near the colonnade of the building that hosts the Museo delle Arti e Tradizioni Popolari, in piazza Marconi, a seated woman is judged by Dr. Antonio (Peppino De Filippo) to be behaving provocatively and he feels obliged to slap her in punishment. Antonio is disturbed by the huge billboard of Anita Ekberg posted outside his windows, in a vast field (today a building) that coasts viale Shakespeare. The finale takes place at night: in a spectral EUR, Antonio’s worst nightmare comes true as she materializes enormous before him in viale Civiltà Del Lavoro; the well-lit arches of the Colosseo Quadrato provide the background to the scene.
