Gressoney is a village in northwestern Italy, at the foot of Monte Rosa in the Aosta Valley region, with a population of around 800 – but it is set to become much more popular thanks to its inclusion in the film.

Lady Gaga showed the mountainous backdrop where the filming took place in an Instagram post with Adam Driver, in March 2020 – captioning the snap ‘Signore e Signora Gucci’ – and sending fans into a frenzy.

While the filming could have taken place in Gressoney, the village actually doubles as the ski resort of St Moritz in Switzerland, a popular destination for the Gucci family.
