<P> The main location for the Perlmans ' residence was an uninhabited 17th - century mansion in Moscazzano . The director initially wanted to buy the house but could not afford it , so he made a film at the place instead . Six weeks before production , the crew -- including production designer Samuel Dehors and first - time set decorator Violante Visconti di Modrone -- gradually decorated the house with furniture , objects , and decoration inspired by the characters . Much of the furniture , including the dishes and glassware from the ' 50s , belonged to Guadagnino and Visconti 's parents . `` That made it cozy and personal , '' Visconti said , `` I wanted to give it the sense of time passing by .
