Where it was filmed 'Almost an orphan'

Quasi orfano directed by Umberto Carteni, is a remake of the French comedy La ch'tite famille by Dany Boon. Riccardo Scamarcio and Vittoria Puccini play Valentino Rocco and his wife Costanza, world-famous architects who have founded a famous design brand,"Vale Rocco", whose offices were set in the headquarters of a company – Chromavis - that produces cosmetics in Offanengo (Cremona).

Meanwhile, Tarocco di Monopoli farmhouse, actually Montereale farmhouse, encircled by dry stone walls and an olive grove, is in the Carperi district in the countryside of Cisternino (Brindisi). The warmth of the sun-kissed outdoor environment contrasts starkly with the cold and elegant lines of the Milanese location where Valentino and Costanza are being interviewed.

While Monopoli shows off all its beauty to the tourists that Valentino's gruff father (Adriano Pappalardo) takes around the historic centre, the rest of the Tarocco family is introduced to Milan with the pointed spiers of the cathedral in the city’s most famous square.

A hugely significant event for Valentino's career takes place at MUDEC - Museum of Cultures, in the Porta Genova district, created from the redevelopment of the former Ansaldo steelworks by the Municipality of Milan. Then it's over to the vertical forest, a symbol of the "sloppiness" of the North according to Valentino's mother (Nunzia Schiano): the building in Porta Nuova, symbolic of new architectural attention to biodiversity, houses the very modern (and grey) apartment of Valentino and Costanza and is located in piazza Gae Aulenti. Locations also included the Navigli, where Costanza walks with Valentino, hoping that he remembers their first kiss.
