P E R S P E C T I V E | J A N UA RY / F E B R UA RY 2 0 1 7 109 INFERNO by Peter Wenham, Production Designer Left: La Soffita, an attic stage set, supposed to be high above the magnificent Hall of the Five Hundred in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, ended up with a much steeper pitch on the trusses than the actual attic to allow more room for a 100-foot crane to reach through the set. Above, top to bottom: Another view of the set on stage. The actual attic space was old and restrictive and it would have been impossible to use safely. A digital working drawing of the La Soffita set by draftsman Gergely Álmos, to be built on Stage 2 at Origo Studios in Budapest. Production photographs by Jonathan Prime © Columbia Pictures
