Thiene Castle: location for photo shoots and film productions
Thiene Castle is located in the heart of the Veneto foothills and preserves atmospheres capable of transforming a simple shoot into a timeless story.
Not only is it one of the most fascinating historic residences in Veneto, but it is also the perfect backdrop for those seeking an authentic setting for photo shoots, promotional videos, or full film productions.
The frescoed halls, the light streaming through the large windows, the Italian-style gardens that change colors with the seasons: every detail contributes to creating a natural scenography without the need for artifices.
A location already chosen by cinema
The Castle has often been the protagonist of unforgettable sets. Scenes from Emilio P. Miraglia’s cult thriller "The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave" (1971) were filmed here, as well as from "The Merchant of Venice" with Al Pacino and Jeremy Irons (2004).
This is what makes the residence special: a set that not only enriches visual storytelling, but also gives unforgettable memories to those who work here.
Visitors often describe the sensation of feeling as if they are inside a film. This is its strength: offering not just spaces, but authentic emotions to experience and narrate.

Photo shoots and special events
For a photographer or an art director, this 15th-century residence is a ready-made canvas: contrasts between Gothic and Renaissance, ancient stables, historic kitchens, decorated wooden halls. Everything seems designed to give life to memorable images.
Whether it’s a fashion campaign, a photo book, or video footage, every frame gains an unrepeatable character.
But it’s not only about shooting: the Castle is also a stage for exclusive events. From candlelit concerts, which fill the halls with music and atmosphere, to traveling shows by Triveneto theater companies, up to the much-loved “School of Magic”, which transforms the residence into a true Hogwarts for an entire weekend.
