Francis Ford Coppola chose several locations in eastern Sicily as settings for his “Godfather” series of movies, starting in July 1971 with Savoca. Recently voted one of Italy’s most beautiful villages, here you will find the Bar Vitelli (where Michael meets Apollonia’s father) and the church of St Lucy (where Michael marries Apollonia). Continue to the pretty medieval town of Forza D’Agrò, with the Chiesa Madre which appears in Godfather 2. Close to Fiumefreddo you will visit the Castello degli Schiavi, owned by Baron Franco Platania, a magnificent villa which (in the film) belonged to the Godfather’s family.
