ARTICLE: ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Scouting Locations In Italy, Including Naples & Capri, For Next On Location Shoot

[Errol]

It looks like “The Bold and the Beautiful” will be heading back to Italy for its next big location shoot, according to a recent update shared on Instagram by the show’s supervising producer, Casey Kasprzyk.

On Friday, Kasprzyk shared several photos during a scouting trip in Naples, Italy, captioning his post, “Quick trip to Italy this week to scout locations in Naples and Capri,” which included photos of “the best pizza in Napoli.”

Joining Kasprzyk for the adventure were Elisa Gastaldello, a business marketing and management communications specialist based out of Milan, Italy; Titti Cinque, a location manager based out of Naples, Italy; and Anthony Ferrari, Vice President of International Operations for “The Bold and the Beautiful.”

“Capri! My favorite!! Have soooo much fun!” commented Jennifer Gareis, who plays Donna Logan on the soap, in response to Kasprzyk’s post.

Whether the show chooses Naples or Capri, either location would make it the sixth time that the daytime drama series will have taped episodes on location in Italy, following trips to Lake Como in 1997, Venice in 1999, Portofino in 2002, Puglia in 2012, and, more recently, Rome in 2023.

When choosing the Italian capital city, executive producer and head writer Bradley Bell said at the time it was chosen for its “effective romanticism” and to pay homage to the Italian voice actors whose voices are used to dub over the American actors portraying the show’s central characters.

No word yet on when the show might formally head to Italy for shooting or which characters/actors would be involved.

Check out photos from Kasprzyk’s time in Naples below.

I hope to God this is not for a "Bridge" reunion. I'm not ready to hear Unforgettable again. 

[skiman12082004]

I never want Ridge & Brooke back together. Things have gone past the point of no return between them and hopefully this breakup is the final nail in their coffin.

I am hoping this remote will bring Thomas back and possibly sending some of the younger set like Will, Luna, Electra, and Remy. But I am sure it will include the usual suspects but who knows???

And I’m not ready to her them talk about their destiny one more time lol 

[Soapsuds]

Someone tell Casey and Bradley that Bold needs actual romance in their show for these useless tiresome remotes. The writing needs to improve a lot before they have another remote.

Add me to the list that doesn't want to see a Brooke and Ridge redux reunion. They have zero chemistry and Ridge has stomped all over Brooke with nothing left to salvage. 

[Maxim]

At this point... Ridge may just put a leash on Brooke's head and she can be walked around like a dog. That's the level of degradation the character has suffered. Even when she was sleeping with her daughter's husband... she was not that pathetic. Begging a man who called your child a slut and a bitch... to live with you... is a whole new level of cringe.

But keeping it on topic - I think Bold should fix their inner problems before jumping to Italy. When you smell like poop... you will smell like poop wherever you go. A 3 episode cheese fest in Italy won't fix the problems. But OK... They should be thankful that Italy still airs them by the way.

It does feel a little like an attempt to detract from how abysmal the show is right now. 

"Look, we're giving you a beautiful location shoot, so why are you going on about the writing..."

[dragonflies]

Yes Brad and company need to fix the problems with the show and use the money for location shoots to put towards more sets

The last few location shoots have been pointless. Monaco last year with Bridge was literally pointless

 

I want another SINN reunion, cause we know Steffy most likely gonna leave town when JMW goes on maternity leave. Tanner's only done 1 location shoot in his 5 years on the show, he's due for another

 

But our luck it's probably Broken Bridge and Liam/Hope

Bold does need some new sets. I'm getting tired of seeing that awful tiny bitsy pizza place they call a business.

Bold sets pale in comparison to BTG.

[BoldRestless]

The writing will be bad regardless, so personally I'll take the remote! It's a big deal that any soap is doing international remotes in 2025.

[yrfan1983]

How can BnB afford this remote when the ratings are so low? Are there higher ratings in other countries to generate the needed revenue?

[edgeofnik]

This remote will likely be partially subsidized by the the cities' and Italy's tourism marketing budget. They really don't have that many 'film' days on location - maybe two or three. All outdoors and pretty simple.

B&B has always been untouchable when it comes to remotes - LA, Aspen, international. The production is prime time quality. 

The irony is that if B&B got 'Peapack'd' - they'd probably flourish.

[Ben]

I wonder why they’ve never taken advantage of the story potential of featuring a remote based around London/Paris/New York/etc. Fashion Weeks. It writes itself. 

About 10+ years ago, these remotes became a thing to do just because, so now they have to come up with contrived and pointless reasons to justify them.
