Where it was filmed 'Succession'

In Season 3 of the HBO produced family drama, Succession, the stories of Logan Roy, his four children and their company move to Italy for a while. During Episode 8, Chiantishire, and 9, which closes the season, Logan and his children try (in vain) to put aside their conflicts about the running of Waystar-Royco, their media and entertainment giant, as they gather in Tuscany for the wedding of Caroline, Logan’s ex-wife and mother of three of his children. The guests are welcomed in the beautiful Italian garden of villa La Foce, a historical residence in Chianciano Terme, at the entrance to val d’Orcia (province of Siena), whose gentle slopes, dotted with cypresses and farmhouses provide an enchanting backdrop to this part of the story.

The squares and alleys of Cortona (province of Arezzo) appear in a scene when the group tours the town on foot: from piazza Garibaldi, leaving via Nazionale behind to climb via Santa Margherita and reach piazza della Repubblica. Shiv Roy and her mother Caroline have a clarifying conversation on a terrace overlooking piazza della Repubblica. The next day, Shiv and her husband Tom breakfast in piazza delle Sorgenti, in Bagno Vignoni (hamlet of San Quirico d’Orcia), famous for its thermal baths, a picturesque rectangle lined by ancient stone buildings which surround a large pool of thermal water dating to the 1500s.

The following scene changes setting and region:  a helicopter lands in Civenna (hamlet of Bellagio in Lombardy) after flying over lake Como: Roman Roy is taken in a motorboat to elegant villa La Cassinella on the lake in Lenno. Meanwhile, the skyscrapers of citylife introduce Milan, where Logan Roy and his staff gather for a business meeting.

While Logan Roy sets up his headquarters near Argiano, an estate set amidst vineyards and cypresses in the area of Montalcino, the 18^th century Romitorio di Cetinale and the Baroque garden encircling sumptuous villa Cetinale, in Sovicille, welcome guests to the wedding which takes place in the villa’s chapel.
