• Piero Chiara and his collaborator Federico Roncoroni turned down three offers between the 1970s and 1980s to film Chiara's novel Il pretore di Cuvio, judging none of them worthy of the book; Chiara had already sketched an adaptation himself.
• The film's planned budget was 3 million euros, but finding the funds, the cast and the crew proved so hard that shooting kept being postponed and actress Sarah Maestri nearly gave up the project around 2013, until Rome's Lime Film agreed to take on production.
• Minor roles and extras were not cast through agencies but chosen in an open public call, supervised by actress Sarah Maestri in her role as the film's artistic director.
