The Island of Women is filmed in Naples, locations and places of Gallo's film

Napoli transforms into a living stage for “The Island of Women”, directorial debut of Massimiliano Gallo. The film comes to life in the streets and neighborhoods of Naples, where the story of resilience and redemption intertwines with the urban beauty of the city.

The locations of the film The Island of Women

During filming, several areas of Naples were transformed into natural settings:

• Historic Centre: the beating heart of Naples with its picturesque corners full of history becomes a vivid backdrop for the film.
• Posillipo and Coroglio: these neighborhoods offer breathtaking views of the sea, used to enrich the visual narrative of the film.
• Petrarch Street: known for its views of the Gulf of Naples, this road is a prime location, perfect for sunset scenes.

Other details

In addition to Naples, some scenes of the film were shot in Santa Maria Capua Vetere, demonstrating the director's attention to selecting locations that add authenticity and historical context to the narrative. In particular:

• Garibaldi Theatre: One of the cultural spaces of Santa Maria Capua Vetere chosen for filming.
• Nearby the M. Piccirillo Sports Field: Used for some outdoor scenes, they show another aspect of the regional context.

The choice of these locations it's not random but responds to a precise desire to tell stories through spaces that speak of history, culture and tradition. With “L'Isola delle Donne”, Massimiliano Gallo not only inaugurates his career as a director but also makes tribute to his city, using cinema as a tool for social and cultural exploration.
