Production

Despite its title, the film was not shot in Zagarolo but in Rome. The reference to the town appears near the end, during the extended dance competition scene titled Coppa Zagarol.

The rented apartment, described as a "rat's nest" by the doorman, is actually on the top floor of the prestigious Palazzo del Ragno in the Coppedè district.
