Detailed itinerary

After about 1 hour of travel we will arrive in Savoca, a charming Sicilian village famous as the set of "The Godfather". Start at Bar Vitelli, where Michael Corleone proposed to Apollonia, immersed in the atmosphere of the film between photos of the cast and authentic Sicilian coffee.

Then head to the Church of San Niccolò, the setting for the wedding in the film. With its majestic baroque architecture and historic frescoes, the church will transport you straight into the scenes of Michael and Apollonia saying their vows.

Continue to the Cemetery, where many crucial scenes have been immortalized among ancient gravestones. Then, have lunch at Taverna Rusticana, where Vito Corleone was shot, enjoying authentic Sicilian dishes.

Don't miss the panoramic view from the Savoca Terrace, offering a breathtaking look at the surrounding landscape. Finally, conclude your visit with a walk in the historic center, among cobbled streets and period buildings, preserving the identity of this village intact.

In the third part of "The Godfather", Forza d'Agrò was chosen as the location for several crucial scenes. The Church of Sant'Agostino is where Michael Corleone, played by Al Pacino, participates in the confession ceremony. The square in front of the church offers a suggestive backdrop for these sequences.

Palazzo Trimarchi, with its baroque charm, becomes a key element during the film. Some scenes set inside the Palace contribute to creating the atmosphere steeped in history and drama of the saga.

The suggestive Piazza degli Angeli in Forza d'Agrò was used for several external shots, helping to outline the authentic setting of the medieval village in the context of the film.

In summary, Forza d'Agrò becomes a fundamental element in the plot of "The Godfather - Part 3", giving life to scenarios that enrich the narrative and capture the spirit of Sicily.

Finally we will face the return journey of about 1 hour satisfied.
