Wife and I were touring around Switzerland and northern Italy, I knew of this film location and it happen to be close to where we were staying for a few days - Bellagio, just a short ferry ride to Lenno and you were at Ballbienello's door step. It was a 5euro boat ride and we were motoring past the dock where Anakin and Padme were getting off their boat, that was just a side dock, the main dock is around the corner from there. I got off the boat and ran to the 'first kiss' location and the wedding location, got some exact frame shots, I had my iPod with me. My wife knew I was in full nerd mode and let me run wild with it. Unfortunately the 'early morning meditation' location was closed and under renovations, - I didn't mind so much because I picked up a huge piece of the terracotta roof shingle, I now own a piece of screen used star wars memorabilia. I asked the guide if he was working here during filming and he said (strong Italian accent) "unfortunately yes, they were here for 3 weeks and were a huge pain in the ass". Maybe next vacation I will ask my wife if she would like to see the beautiful dunes and sunsets of Tunisia.

Hello all!
I'm new to this website, although I can see that I'm not new to you guys/gals. Quite a bit of 'my' information can be found here. That's nice!
I recently visit Villa del Balbianello (not Balbienello) in Italy and the surrounding area. I have all the information online on my website www.markdermul.be/naboo for you to check out.
If it's ok, I'll be uploading some photos soon.
When I find the time, I will also contribute some more for the Trip to Tatooine and the Heading for Hoth information.
Thanks.
Mark.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for stopping by and posting the photos. I've been following your updates on Facebook and have really enjoyed hearing about the trip to Italy and the upcoming plans for Tunisia. I haven't ordered the book yet but plan on it sometime later when I have a little extra spending money.
Hopefully I'll be able to visit Lake Como myself in the future. I think I should be able to convince my wife as long as I focus on all of the romantic qualities of the area.

Hi Bill,
I posted the original story here about the lake retreat, the best thing to concince your wife is to tell her that you will stay in Bellagio, just accross the lake, it is quite perfect and romantic. I will post some pics of Villa del Balbianello
