Orson Welles' Othello is the earlier of this tour's two anchor films, and its own production history is almost as dramatic as the play itself — shot over three grueling, self-financed years across Morocco, Venice, Tuscany, and Rome as Welles scrambled for funding between stretches of filming. Sources differ slightly on the exact release year (1951 at the Venice Film Festival, more widely cited as 1952 for its international release), but either way it remains one of the earliest major films to use the real city as a backdrop rather than a studio set.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, nearly four decades later in 1989, took a far more organized approach: St Mark's Square and the Doge's Palace both served as filming locations, and Campo San Barnaba famously stood in as the library hiding the clue in the film's well-known "X marks the spot" sequence.
Walking between the two films' real locations with a private guide fills in the cinema history that a casual stroll would miss entirely — which palace, which square, and why directors kept returning to Venice as a setting no soundstage could ever fully replicate.
