Interesting facts

Fantaghirò 2 is the second television film in the Fantaghirò series, directed by Lamberto Bava and originally aired in 1992 as a two-parter. Most of the principal cast of the previous film returned for this instalment.

Production

Director and producer Lamberto Bava made Fantaghirò 2 in Czechoslovakia to limit the costs. It was shot in July 1992 at Bojnice Castle, Bouzov Castle, a park and an artificial castle in Lednice, and in-studio in Bratislava by a mixed Italian and Czechoslovak crew of over 100.

Kim Rossi Stuart claimed that he enjoyed the role of the evil Romulado, nicknamed "Romul' altro" ("Romul 'other") by the film crew, saying that "naughty second identity" was more fun to play than the "sympathetic cliché" of an honest and fair Romualdo, and especially liking the scenes of him being intimate with Brigitte Nielsen's sultry Dark Witch.
