On this day in 2015, the SPECTRE crew were shooting part of the high-speed car chase through the streets of Rome between Bond’s Aston Martin DB10 and Hinx’s Jaguar C-X75. Stunt coordinator Gary Powell said: “For the drive down the steps we put a layer of concrete wedges over the original steps to protect them, and the walls were clad in steel and painted to look like concrete.
