Highlights
This hidden gem is tucked away in a small, remote Sicilian town, surrounded by elegantly stylish buildings that are works of art in themselves. The very name of the place conjures cinematic memories of the Paramount classic *The Godfather*, a masterpiece that immortalized Sicilian heritage on screen. Yet, it also invites the age-old debate within the linguistic community over the origins of the enigmatic Sicilian term *Mafia*—a word shrouded in mystery and intrigue. The town is steeped in the legends of a conservative yet opportunistic past, embodied by its cathedral. Here, a 14th-century black wooden crucifix and a collection of evocative paintings by Brother Felice da Sambuca await admiration in solemn silence, offering visitors a poignant glimpse into its storied history.

Itinerary
A lovely small Sicilian village inspired F.F. Coppola with its views to continental Italy, the Ionian bay and green hills all round there
Who’s he, that elegant, well-educated, seductively intriguing Sicilian man and the main question why is he so popular among experienced ladies like me? There’s no way to answer this question but to investigate the case together following his routes, paths, and to experience the same atmosphere and the glory of the solved enigma. An investigation previews forthcoming involvement and action in Sicilian Godfather Saga traditions like a typical aperitif at the most famous bar, where Michael Corleone asked a hand of Apollonia, a bar with his favourite “cannoli”, oh God, they must be “the same as loved by Don Vito Corleone and by Francis Ford Coppola”
