When supervising locations manager Andrew Buckley was looking for the right location to shoot Matthew Vaughn’s third instalment of the Kingsman franchise The King’s Man, Turin sprung to mind.
They were coming to the end of Kingsman: The Golden Circle, where they were shooting in Italy’s Aosta mountains in a place called Courmayeur. “We were trying to tie in a location so, based on the geography of where that was, I started looking what was nearby and I saw Turin and noticed it had these amazing Baroque palaces and infrastructures, not just in Turin but in the whole Piedmont area,” says Buckley. “Turin was just this hidden gem.
Although people knew about it, no one seemed to really know how versatile the city was.” For The King’s Man, a key driver of the location lay behind finding the right place for the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, which is considered one of the key events that led to World War I.
Buckley started exploring Turin and noticed that the River Po had the same geography as where the assassination took place. To boot, the ease at which production could travel to the region and the versatility of the region as a whole was a big plus. “The beauty of the Piedmont region is that from London you can fly there within an hour and a half to Turin and within half an hour, you’re in the mountains.
