The film dedicated to Eleonora Duse (Vigevano 1858 - Pittsburgh 1924), one of the greatest stage actresses of her era, was shot in 2024, the centenary of her death. Director Pietro Marcello focused specifically on the final years of the "divine" actress, who was also known for her connection to poet and writer Gabriele D'Annunzio, for whom she was a muse.
Duse is inextricably linked to Venice. "One of the most beautiful cities in the world," the director confesses. "I had the privilege of filming in Venice and then bringing this film back to the Lagoon. It's something that moves me deeply." Locations included: Campo San Fantin, La Fenice theatre, Goldoni theatre, Campo San Beneto, Palazzo Fortuny, campo and fondamenta Santa Giustina, Fondaco bridge, the Jesuit area, Palazzo Donà delle Rose and Palazzo Polignac in Dorsoscuro.
Part of the film was set in Rome, where locations included: private homes; the former Carlo Forlanini hospital; Palazzo dell'Aeronautica; Palazzo Orsini Taverna and Borgo Mandela.
Other locations included: Villa Aldobrandini in Frascati; piazza del Comune and piazza del Governo in Tivoli; the Sasso area in Cerveteri; and the medieval San Pellegrino neighbourhood, teatro dell'Unione and square in Viterbo.

Eleonora Duse’s legendary career appears to be over, but, in the tumultuous times between the great war and the rise of Fascism, La Divina felt a siren call stronger than her resignation and returned to where her life began: the stage.
