The spot is Laghetto dei Riflessi, a small quarry lake in the Palata Menasciutto Nature Reserve, just to the southwest of Ricengo, though this is about three miles north of Crema. When the beats of the Psychedelic Furs impel Oliver to a flamboyant turn on the dancefloor at an alfresco disco party, Elio slips of with his kind-of-girlfriend Marzia ( Esther Garrel) for a late-night swim. And this bar is real – it’s Bar Belvedere, Piazza Gambazocchi, 7.Īlthough tentative signals are exchanged between Elio and Oliver, they prove elusive and ambiguous. The next time they cycle into town, it’s to Moscazzano, and Piazza Gambazocchi, where Elio watches as the charming Oliver joins a game of cards with the locals. As you may guess from the carefully angled shots, there’s not really a bar here. The town is Crema, and it’s in the Piazza del Duomo in front of Crema Cathedral that, over drinks, Oliver asks what it is people do around here. Nevertheless, Elio dutifully takes Oliver into the nearest town to open a bank account for his stay.Ĭall Me by Your Name film location: Oliver and Elio meet up in Crema: Crema, Lombardy, Italy | Photograph: iStockphoto / clodio When Perlman Sr ( Michael Stuhlbarg), an academic specialising in classical antiquity, invites American research assistant Oliver ( Armie Hammer) to stay at the villa or a few weeks, there’s initially resentment from his 17-year-old son, Elio ( Timothée Chalamet), who’s obliged to give up his bedroom to the interloper. In fact, the villa was specially decorated for the film by Violante Visconti di Modrone, a relative of Luchino Visconti, coincidentally director of Death In Venice, a ravishingly beautiful film of homoerotic longings from a very different era. There’s little to see from the street, apart from the entrance, but if you missed the chance to buy it, you can comfort yourself knowing that it wasn’t such a bargain – there are really no peach trees on the estate and that plunge pool was added just for the film. The villa was put up for sale in 2018 for an asking price of €1.7 million. It’s the Villa Albergoni, 3, Via Montodine, just south of Via Roma, in Moscazzano, a village about five miles south of Crema. The villa is not a hotel or a guest-house but a private home and it’s surrounded by high walls. It looks mouth-wateringly inviting, but this time I’m afraid I’m not able to say: “and you can stay here…”. The main setting is the estate of the Perlman family. It’s set in 1983 in the far north of Italy, and filmed around Crema, Moscazzano and Bergamo in Lombardy. Luca Guadagnino’s sun-drenched coming-of-age romance saw veteran film-maker James Ivory (of the Merchant- Ivory directorial team responsible for so many quintessentially British films including A Room With A View, Howards End and The Remains Of The Day) finally win an Oscar, for his adaptation of André Aciman’s novel.
