It looks Assisi-esque to me, but it does not seem to me to be Assisi. Some people have already pointed towards the location of the film; but I seem to remember one scene in front of the church in Rome that must have been filmed on location in front of the Lateran Basilica. I think I recognized the doors. Why are you interested to identify the church as St Peter's in Rome, I wonder? I would make more sense to identify the church the film intended to represent as the Lateran Basilica, which after all was the papal residence in the thirteenth century, and which is Rome's cathedral proper. St Peter's is not. If I am not mistaken, St. Peter's was not used until after the return of the popes from Avignon. But I'd be interested to see what others think about this question. ------------------------------------------------------- Frans van Liere Department of History College of Charleston 0 Bee Street Charleston SC 29424 Charleston SC 29403 tel.
