10. Vampire in Venice (1988), dir. Augusto Caminito

A story of vampires which, unlike the cinematographic works relating to the historical character of Dracula, gives greater figurative charm thanks to the lagoon setting.

5. Dangerous Beauty (1998), dir. Marshall Herskovitz

A story about the life and adventures of the honest courtesan Veronica Franco and the love for a man belonging to a higher social class.

The cinematic work is based on a true story and, despite being set in Venice, it's certain that almost all the scenes were shot in Cinecittà and in some villas outside the city of Rome, except (probably) some short sequences, like the one finale that sees Veronica in a gondola in the basin of San Marco or her own house, located in Campiello del Remer.
