The Godfather Tour on board the historic FIAT 500 | VRetreats

Scopri un rifugio affacciato sul blu pi&ugrave; profondo. Costruito sulla roccia che scivola nel mare, Atlantis Bay &egrave; una dimora unica tra le onde della Baia delle Sirene e l&rsquo;eleganza di Taormina.&nbsp;

Qui, ogni terrazza guarda il Mediterraneo, ogni esperienza profuma di Sicilia. Un luogo dove lasciarsi incantare dalla luce, dai sapori, dal mare.

taormina

Terrazza naturale sull&rsquo;Etna e sullo Ionio, Taormina custodisce teatri antichi, boutiques eleganti e giardini profumati d&rsquo;agrumi. Il nostro resort a picco sul mare offre suite panoramiche, ristorante stellato e l&rsquo;emozione di un bagno all&rsquo;alba nel Mediterraneo.

ATLANTIS BAY

The Godfather, directed in 1971 by Francis Ford Coppola, is a milestone in cinema of all time, loaded with the years of the aura that only legends bring with them. A tour that retraces the places of the Sicilian countryside and the settings that framed the history of the Corleone family.

The FIAT 500 of the time is the exceptional vehicle to live the experience in an authentic way and breathe the atmosphere of the urban cross-sections told in the film.

A symbol of Italian history, to identify with Sicily in the 70s and go back in time for a day.

 On board the historic FIAT 500

The car

Bar Vitelli in Savoca was the protagonist of one of the key scenes of the film, the meeting between Michael Corleone and the owner of the bar, Mr. Vitelli. Here the gangster shows interest in Vitelli&rsquo;s daughter, Apollonia, and in her father&rsquo;s refusal to marry her, suggests that a married daughter is better than a fatherless daughter.

A stop here is a must, to sit in Al Pacino&rsquo;s chair and enjoy a Sicilian granita.

The Vitelli Bar

Focus

Another must is the Church of Santa Lucia, a place of worship chosen to shoot the famous wedding scene between Apollonia and Michael Corleone. In a position of excellence overlooking the village of Savona, the Church still preserves some of the works of the original building, built in the 15th century, and destroyed by a landslide at the end of the 19th century.

The Church of Santa Lucia

Savoca

A village that has its roots in the distant Roman era, Savoca climbs up the rocky hills of the island. Not only has it been the location of some of the most famous scenes of Il Padrino, but it is also one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. 
Part of the tour takes place to discover this all-Italian pearl, where you can walk and stop independently in a typical village restaurant.

 The hilltop village of Savoca

Municipality of less than 1000 inhabitants, Forza d&rsquo;Agr&ograve; is a jewel whose origins date back to the 10th century, a village from which to explore the typical streets to suddenly arrive in front of a breathtaking view, with cliffs that cut perpendicularly the sea. Location also chosen for the Godfather III scenes, such as the one in which Michael Corleone shows his father&rsquo;s childhood home to his wife.

 The village of Forza d'Agrò

Forza D’Agrò

The tour then proceeds to discover the Cathedral of Maria S. Annunziata, located in the nearby village of Forza d&rsquo;Agr&ograve;. 
The church was rebuilt following an earthquake that destroyed the original, dating back to the fifteenth century. 
There are two scenes that portray her, electing her as a witness to the history of the gangster family: the arrival of Michael in Corleone and the escape of the young Vito Corleone.

The Church of Maria S. Annunziata

To conclude the tour, we will cross the province of Catania towards Fiumefreddo, where you can admire the Schiavi Castle, the protagonist of the most meaningful scenes of the film: it is here that the tragedy of the bomb in the car takes place.

An imposing place, whose name evokes an ancient legend to be listened to with bated breath.
