Denzel Washington just wants a moment of peace in Italy — as we all do.
Unfortunately, the plot of The Equalizer 3 has little to do with calm drives along the Amalfi Coast, olive oil tasting, and White Lotus-esque Sicilian hotels.
Blood flows like red wine in the final chapter of Antoine Fuqua’s trilogy. The film finds Washington’s Robert McCall dragged back into the criminal underbelly, this time in Italy, to keep the peace, protect the innocent, and give a few unlucky members of the mafia nine seconds to decide their fate.
But you’ve got more than nine seconds to enjoy a very less violent vacation in southern Italy when you visit these filming locations for The Equalizer 3.

Where was Equalizer 3 filmed in Italy?
The trilogy’s last entry was filmed in southern Italy, primarily on the Amalfi Coast. This stretch of coastline between Sorrento and Salerno has 13 towns that are as dreamy as they look on the postcards. Rome’s Cinecittà Studios and areas of the Campania region, like Naples, also helped build the film’s setting.

Where is the church in Equalizer 3?
The church from The Equalizer 3 is called Santuario Santa Maria del Bando. It’s a steep climb to this hilltop shire in Atrani on the Amalfi Coast, but worth the view if you don’t mind getting your glutes a good workout.
Where on the Amalfi Coast was Equalizer 3 filmed?
Atrani, Italy, is the main Amalfi Coast town that The Equalizer 3 was filmed in. This small commune is just east of the town Amalfi and west of San Cosma. When in Atrani, the views from the small beach are solid, but head up to the Torre dello Ziro, Veliero del Belvedere, or Santuario Santa Maria del Bando for those *wow* panoramas.
