Il sol dell'avvenire was co-written by Nanni Moretti with collaborators Francesca Marciano, Federica Pontremoli and Valia Santella.[5] The film was co-produced by Moretti through Sacher Film and by Domenico Procacci through Fandango, with Rai Cinema and France's Le Pacte.[1] It was produced in collaboration with France 3 Cinéma, with the participation of Canal+, Ciné+ and France Télévisions. Moretti called the film "complex and costly".[5]

Filming began on 8 March 2022. Shooting took place at Cinecittà, as well as on the streets of Rome. In May 2022, scenes were shot on Rome's Via dei Fori Imperiali, with an elaborate procession featuring a band, extras, horses and elephants.[6][7] Moretti's use of animals on set was criticized by animal rights groups, including Lega Anti Vivisezione (LAV).[8] Filming wrapped on 21 June 2022.[9]
