The LA Times has an interview with Jane Tranter, head of BBC Worldwide productions, which mentions Da Vinci's Demons being filmed in Wales!

Tranter's group is creating original shows in collaboration with premium movie channel Starz. This summer, the companies plan to begin shooting "Da Vinci's Demons," an ambitious historical fantasy exploring the early life of Leonardo da Vinci, at an elaborate set in Wales built to resemble 15th century Italy.
