For fans of The Godfather movie series, many of the places visited on this tour will seem familiar. Begin with a brief drive along the freeway to Roccalumera. From there, the coastal road, bordered by villas, flowering gardens, and picturesque villages, leads to the historical artist town of Savoca.
In a private house in the village, Bar Vitelli houses a collection of local artisans' tools and photographs taken when Francis Ford Coppola shot scenes of The Godfather II.
After a refreshment, stroll along the village's main street past Santa Lucia and San'Michele churches for a view over the valley.
At Forza d'Agro, a 20-minute drive away, you'll find a charming little village overlooking the Arab-Norman castle of Capo Sant'Alessio. In 1990, Al Pacino and Sophia Coppola shot scenes here for The Godfather III. From the main square, a lane meets the circular steps that ascend to the Gothic-Catalán portal in front of the Church of San Agostino, or Triade. See the Baroque Chiesa Madre Church before returning to Giardini.
