The film has been shot in Livorno? Not Studio !
I watched the film many times and thought that the film has been shot at Venezia.
Now I'm wathching the film again and saw some street names, like these : Scali delle pietre, Scali del Pesce etc. I began to search these names and found that the film location is not Venezia,but it is Livorno.
If you pay attention the street names or place in the film, you could find same location in Livorno. There is very little changes after 60 years.
