If you are a lover the Godfather trilogy and plan on visiting Sicily, visiting Taormina and visiting the scenes from the Godfather is a must! You may be thinking, well weren't the scenes filmed in Corleone Sicily? Even though The Godfather movie is set in Corleone, a town in the Metropolitan City of Palermo, the filming actually took place in other locations very far away from the town. Some sources say The town of Corleone looked too modern, so Francis Ford Coppola chose other small Sicilian villages that were still untouched by modernization. For those of you who don’t know, the town of Corleone is rumored to home to many infamous mob bosses as well as a tremendous amount of mafia activity. With that said, there is also a rumor that the Mafia had such a stronghold or Corleone and the region that they did not want FFC to film in the area and made it difficult for him to film For whatever the reason may be, The bulk of the scenes from the godfather that were filmed in Sicily took place in the east primarily in the villages of Savoca and Forza d’Agro.
