It\u2019s almost a clich\u00e9, but the locations in Netflix\u2019s Ripley<\/a> are like characters in the action.<\/p>\n

The limited series adapts Patricia Highsmith\u2019s novel The Talented Mr Ripley<\/a> and moves from New York City to a flurry of locations across Italy set in the early 1960s.<\/p>\n

The story follows American con artist Tom Riley (Andrew Scott) as he is tasked with heading to Italy to bring home an old acquaintance and a wayward scion of a shipping dynasty, Dickie Greenleaf (Johnny Flynn), now living a relaxed life away from his family responsibilities as a carefree painter.<\/p>\n

Actress Dakota Fanning, who portrays Dickie\u2019s girlfriend Marge Sherwood in the series, told Netflix: \u201cWe were filming in so many of the most beautiful cities in the world; Rome, Venice, Capri, the Amalfi Coast. Naples had its own grit and electricity.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s interesting because I do think that the show portrays the country in a different way than most people have seen Italy.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the most iconic cities in the world, New York City is the location for much of the premiere episode of Ripley, as we follow Tom Ripley\u2019s hand-to-mouth existence in the sprawling metropolis \u2013 which feels all the more oppressive in the almost gothic black-and-white.<\/p>\n

Atrani, Italy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Atrani is the setting of multiple episodes in the series, as this is where Dickie and Marge live in Italy. The small city on the Amalfi Coast in the province of Salerno is in the Campania region of south-western Italy. The area today has a population of around 900 people.<\/p>\n

The winding steps and mountainous exteriors make it a visually stunning backdrop.<\/p>\n

Production designer David Gropman told Netflix: \u201cIt was just the incredible geography of that town, the relationship of the main square to the beach, all of those unbelievable paths, that maze of stairs and corridors through the mountain.\u201d<\/p>\n

The location provided the production with space for Marge\u2019s home and Ripley\u2019s hotel room in the village too.<\/p>\n
