Armie Hammer & Timothée Chalamet find love in Call Me By Your Name (2017)
Aloysius J. Gleek:
FYI, distinguished author André Aciman and producer Peter Spears of Call Me by Your Name play a visiting gay couple from Chicago in the movie (and who insist in speaking atrocious Italian to the Perlmans)--everyone is saying the scene is hilarious!

Can't wait to see this film! Thanks for all your lovely images and words. Crema looks like a wonderful place, just south of the Lake District and east of Milan.

Thank you, Lee! And yay! :D I really, really hope you'll be able see it--but we'll find out how "limited" a release it will be in the U.S., ugh. ::)

I know that our Paul was a bit worried at first about the relocation from the town of Bordighera (in the Italian province of Liguria on the Italian Riviera) to director Luca Guadagnino's hometown of Crema (in the northern province of Lombardy, but in the movie it is only mentioned as "somewhere in the north of Italy"). Although in André Aciman's 2007 novel the town is only called "B," it's clear it is Bordighera, not only because of the Claude Monet references in the book (Monet went there to paint some very lovely things, and one section of Aciman's book, Part 2, is entitled 'Monet's Berm') but other references which seemed specific and special--like the sea! But the photos and stills taken from the locations, the Perlman family villa (!!) and Sirmione on Lake Garda, which has the "Archaeological site of Grotte di Catullo" look simply ravishing--like you, I cannot wait!
FYI, here's something I just found on line--take a look:

Hi! Do you happen to have a list of the locations of the movie? I just discovered I live within an hour of everything, and I wanted to go visit! (Story of my life, they shoot a beautiful movie where I live and I find out a year later >.<) thank you so much for the help!
Well, aren’t you lucky! :)
Fortunately Luca used few locations for the film, mainly around Crema, Moscazzano and Bergamo, so:
Elio's house and most of the biking through the countryside: Moscazzano
Standing in for “B” [Bordighera]: Crema (Piazza Premoli, Piazza Trento e Trieste…)
Train station: Pizzighettone
Fontanili Capralba
Sirmione Lake (most likely Jamaica Beach)
Cascate del Serio
Standing in for Rome: Bergamo, the Agnello D'oro Hotel
If anyone knows of any other locations feel free to comment!

And there's this:
DID YOU KNOW?
French writer Stendhal called Bergamo's Piazza Vecchia "the most beautiful square on Earth".

Bergamo! Joey and I visited there once in the 90s. We had been in Venice, and took a commuter train to Bergamo, on the advice of a foodie friend. Sure enough, we had made reservations at the Agnello d'Oro!!! It's a very old hotel in the "città alta", or high town.
I recall the very beautiful piazza. Also, dinner at the Agnello d'Oro was spectacular: the specialità was "risotto al profumo di bosca"--an incredibly rich concoction with wild mushrooms and truffles. Although you couldn't eat the plates, you could take them home: the chef designed a new plate yearly with the face of the sun, complimentary with the dish.
I had wondered if the Roman scenes would be included (not mentioned in any review, nor seen in a preview). They're important to the story. Bergamo sitting in for Rome? Molto interessante!
A piu tarde!
