Over the years, Italy's cities, mountains, and countryside have formed the backdrop to some of the best films in cinematic history, from Roman Holiday to Under the Tuscan Sun. Visiting some of the sights immortalized on the big screen is a great way to explore the country, whether you make like Audrey Hepburn and take a scooter ride around the capital or tuck into a pizza at the restaurant Julia Roberts visited in Eat, Pray, Love. 

However, movie fans are advised against recreating La Dolce Vita's famous Trevi Fountain scene: each year, dozens of tourists are caught attempting to bathe in the landmark, and the city has ramped up fines in an effort to deter Anita Ekberg wannabes.
