Bravissimo: outdoor lesson

Ubaldo Impallato (Sordi), along with his students, holds an outdoor lesson near a Roman aqueduct (in reality, they're going to pick chicory). In the film, he himself says, "We see the remains of Claudius' aqueduct." In reality, it's the Quintilii aqueduct. The ruins are between the Via Appia Nuova and the Appia Antica.
