Disney’s The First Omen shot in Rome
Disney's The First Omen was filmed on location in Rome, Italy, and the surrounding area, with interior shots captured on sound stages at Rome’s Lumina Studios. The production utilised various iconic locations to create the film's atmospheric setting. The orphanage depicted in the film was a composite of several different buildings, including the Villa Parisi, a 17th-century villa just outside of Rome, and a farm in Procoio. The dungeon-like basement where Margaret gives birth was a set built from scratch on a sound stage. This meticulous attention to detail highlights the intricate production design that brought the story to life, showcasing Rome’s diverse architectural heritage and supporting the local economy through job creation and the utilisation of local resources.
