Florence serves as a central filming location for the film Inferno

The 2016 film ‘Inferno’, directed by Ron Howard and based on the Dan Brown novel, features extensive filming locations in Florence, Italy. The city serves as a central setting for the story, with director Ron Howard describing Florence as a ‘living character’.

Key locations depicted in the film include the Brunelleschi dome, Giotto's bell tower, the Arnolfo Tower, the Badia Fiorentina, the Boboli Gardens, and the Vasari Corridor. Approximately half of the film's runtime was shot in the Tuscan capital.

The plot follows Robert Langdon, played by Tom Hanks, as he navigates a race against time after waking up in a Florentine hospital with amnesia. Alongside Dr. Sienna Brooks, played by Felicity Jones, Langdon follows clues related to Dante Alighieri to prevent a global catastrophe involving a manufactured plague.
