Be Free at Poggio Belvedere

A behind-the-scenes look at a fashion takeover in the Italian countryside

This past April, the Be Free team flew in from across Europe and took over our estate.

The goal? To shoot their 2024 summer fashion campaign in a way that felt cinematic, timeless, and completely immersive. For days, Poggio Belvedere became their creative universe — wardrobe styling under fig trees, Vespas buzzing across gravel paths, models slipping between our garden terraces and stone staircases.

This wasn’t just a shoot. It was a production.

And we handled every detail.

Why Brands Choose Poggio Belvedere

There are plenty of beautiful locations in Italy. But few offer what we do:

  • Full privacy — no shared space, no interruptions

  • Design-forward interiors and outdoor variety

  • Authentic Umbrian textures — vineyards, olive groves, medieval touches

  • On-site production coordination from a globally experienced team

  • Creative freedom in every direction

For Be Free — a fashion brand with strong Gen Z influence and broad Eastern European reach — this campaign marked a shift in tone. While previous seasons had touched the Amalfi Coast, they wanted something different for summer 2025.

They found it here: a place that felt exclusive, effortless, and creatively alive.

What We Curated for the Be Free Team

As the hosts of Poggio Belvedere, Vero in Italy organized a full production setup:

  • Vespa and vintage bike rentals

  • Private chef services and catered meals for the entire crew

  • Overflow accommodations nearby for extended teams

  • Flexible location setups indoors and outdoors

  • Wine pairings and sunset dinners to fuel the long days

From production logistics to off-duty dining, everything was handled with discretion, detail, and style.

This is why brands come to us.

Space to Create

Be Free didn’t just use the villa. They used the entire property —
Draping wardrobe across the stone balustrades
Shooting campaign videos by the pool
Turning sunrise light into storytelling

It’s that flexibility that makes Poggio Belvedere a true destination for content.

Whether you're a fashion label, lifestyle brand, or creative agency, this is the kind of shoot setting that gives back — with layers of beauty, character, and calm.
