    The De Laurentiis studios, nicknamed "Dinocittà" in reference to Cinecittà, were a large film complex founded by Italian producer Dino De Laurentiis in the early 1960s. Located along the Via Pontina, about twenty kilometers south of Rome, they were among the largest and most modern in Europe at their opening, featuring five sound stages and an immense backlot. The complex hosted several major international productions, including John Huston's The Bible (1966), Barabbas, and Waterloo. Due to a lack of commercial success and a decrease in film subsidies, De Laurentiis had to part with it in the early 1970s, and the land was transferred to the Italian state in 1973. After a long period of abandonment, the site has been redeveloped and has been home to the theme park Cinecittà World since 2014.

    The scene : A part of the filming took place in these studios on the Via Pontina, at the gates of Rome.
