The Godfather II & III: Savoca,
Sant'Alessio from Catania
At
8:30AM You are greeted at Catania port and ride to the scenes of
The Godfather.
We begin with a brief drive through Messina and along the freeway to
Roccalumera.
From there, the coastal road, rich of 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. Stroll along the village's main
street past Santa Lucia and San Michele churches for a short view over the
valley.
Drive away, we'll find a charming little village over-looking 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-Catalan portal in front of the Church of San Agostino.
See the Baroque Chiesa Madre church before returning back to Catania port.
