Savoca — Il Paese del Padrino
Sicily
Savoca's stone lanes and Bar Vitelli, still trading on its role as a filming location for The Godfather, climb a ridge above the Ionian coast near Taormina. The belvedere at the village edge looks down over terraced hills to the sea, quieter and less commercial than Taormina itself despite the film connection.
