Filming begins at Tower of Talamonaccio in Tuscany

Italian press have confirmed earlier MI6 reports that a scene for "Quantum of Solace" is to be filmed at Tower of Talamonaccio (Torre di Talamonaccio) in Tuscany.

The shoot is scheduled to start on Friday 25th April through until Sunday 27th April. Papers say that the scene will be "short, but intense".

Filming is taking place inside the tower, with the décor reportedly changed to a black and white theme. Principal cast members Daniel Craig, Olga Kurylenko and Giancarlo Giannini will take part. 007 will be seen arriving by speedboat.

Reports in Italy suggest that the location was chosen by producer Barbara Broccoli. The high-end villa can be rented out by tourists for around $9,000 per week.
