Budgeting, Permits, and Logistics for Shoots in Italy

A budget for a production in Portofino or Lake Como looks very different from one in Puglia or Sicily. Overall production costs depend on transit times from major equipment rental hubs (Milan and Rome), per-diem logistics, local crew bases,and the processing speed of local police and council filming permits.
