Giovanna Antonelli fell in love with the south of Bahia

Giovanna Antonelli fell in love with the south of Bahia during the recording of "Segundo Sol". The actress stated that she wanted to move to the region and took her family to visit. The scenography team had the challenge of building identical houses in different locations, using the hand rammed earth technique, for recording the interior and exterior scenes. Set designer May Martins says it was gratifying to see the end result. The general director of the telenovela Maria de Médicis decided to record in two special places in Bahia: Feira de São Joaquim and Igreja de São Francisco, in Pelourinho. She was fascinated by the variety of products and the diversity of cultures at Feira de São Joaquim, while the unique beauty of the church of São Francisco left her in awe.
