The Godfather villages - Forza D Agrò & Savoca Anyone who has seen the Godfather movies, coming to Sicily should visit these charming locations. Francis Ford Coppola filmed the Sicilian scenes of his movies in these two authentic villages a short drive from Taormina, which still today are completely untouched and retain their original medievel charm.Built on rocky hilltops high above the sea, the two villages are a hidden piece of Sicily.Savoca was the location for the scenes set in Corleone, S. Nicolo Church (also called S. Lucia Church) was chosen for Michael and Apollonias wedding and Bar Vitelli, which is still a functioning establishment, was featured in the motion picture as the place where Michael Corleone asked Apollonias father to meet his daughter.This has made tiny Savoca an international tourist destination, but its smallness and remoteness precludes it from being overwhelmed.Much of the town consists of traditional buildings and stone paved lanes that are impassable by car. The perfect setting for the Godfather movies!
