minghella_dailyBelatedly cross-posted from my journal: photographs of the cathedral in Ripley.
The cathedral is the Chiesa Della Martorana in Palermo, built in the year 1143. (In the film, it's meant to be the Santa Della Maria Pieta in Venice, 'Vivaldi's own church', which 'became mysteriously unavailable' when shooting for the film began.) If you look closely at the pictures of the actual cathedral, there's no organ loft there! It was a temporary structure made for the film, and Jack Davenport and the musicians were hoisted up there. *g*
