RELATED: read here an overview about all (8) James Bond films that took place in Italy, including their trailers. Matera was the set for the not-yet-released-film, “No Time to Die”. The most recent “Spectre” was filmed on location in the capital, Rome. Sardinia greeted 007 in “The Spy Who Loved Me” and Bond went to Tuscany in “Quantum of Solace”.

Under the direction of Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Road to Perdition), the James Bond series take a dark turn with a refreshing realism that contrasts with some of the eccentric (and let’s say it, poor) previous episodes like Moonraker or, more recently, Tomorrow Never Dies. This time James Bond is caught in the middle of a duel to the death between M (Judi Dench) and Raoul Silva (Javier Bardem), a former agent left for dead seeking revenge. Skyfall is the twenty-third opus of the James Bond series and the third starring Daniel Craig as the famous MI6 agent. National Gallery, Trafalgar Square, London
