Film Preparation
The film was shot in the Mezzogiorno (Southern Italy), still poor and archaic, especially in the Basilicata ( Barile , and Matera ), in Calabria ( Le Castella ), and Apulia ( Massafra ). However, Pasolini had made in July 1963 in Palestine, with Father Don Andrea Carraro , to carry out scouting. The filmmaker is disappointed by modernity too apparent landscapes and waives situate his film, but images shot on location become, under the leadership of producer Alfredo Bini , a documentary halfway between the travelogue and reflection Interior: " Location Scouting in Palestine for The Gospel according to St. Matthew. "
