If you are a fan of the famous film "The Godfather" by Francis Ford Coppola, you cannot miss the "Godfather tour" during your visit to Sicily.
Our car rental with driver company offers a unique experience for all cinema lovers, leading you to discover the places where the director shot some of the most iconic scenes of the film.
The tour begins with a visit to the village of Savoca, located on the hill a few kilometers from the city of Taormina. Here is the famous Bar Vitelli, where Michael Corleone (played by Al Pacino) asks for the hand of Apollonia, the daughter of the bar owner. The bar has remained unchanged over time, with its old liquor bottles and stone walls, and seems to transport you back in time.
Afterwards, we will head to Forza D'Agrò, a charming medieval village with a breathtaking view of the sea. Here, on the main road, you may recognize the church of San Michele, where Vito Corleone (played by Marlon Brando) is injured during an assassination attempt. The panorama that can be enjoyed from the top of the village is absolutely spectacular and will leave you breathless.
From the village of Savoca and Forza D'Agrò to Corleone
One of the possible stops on the tour is the one that will take you to Corleone, the city that gave its name to the most famous mafia family in the history of cinema. Although the city does not appear in the film, the name has become an icon of the world of the mafia thanks to the figure of the godfather Vito Corleone. Here you can visit the Mafia Museum, a place where the history of the mafia and its fight against justice are told through objects, documents and photographs.
In conclusion, the "Godfather tour" is a unique experience that will immerse you in the magic of the world of cinema and will lead you to discover the most evocative places in Sicily.
