Production
[edit | edit source]Principal photography started on 26 July 1972.[2] The film initially had the working title Maestro d'amore ("Master of Love"), which was intended by Rondi as an hommage to Ingmar Bergman's A Lesson in Love.[2][4] The title was changed by producer Oscar Brazzi (main actor Rossano Brazzi's brother), who also actively interfered with scripting, shooting and editing, even going so far as to shoot on his own some additional sex scenes that were not in the script, causing Rondi to leave the set in protest.[4] Set in Tuscany in the Renaissance age, it was shot in San Gimignano.[2]
Release
[edit | edit source]The film was released in Italian cinemas by Panta on 12 October 1972.[2]
Reception
[edit | edit source]In spite of its high-profile cast, domestically the film was a bomb, grossing less than 100 million lire.[2] It was generally badly received by critics.[2][4]
