Forza d'Agrò
A medieval hill village on a coastal ridge, where scenes from The Godfather Part II and Part III were filmed. Views take in the Ionian Sea and Capo Sant'Alessio.
Forza d'Agrò lies about 12 km north of Taormina, on a ridge at roughly 420 metres. Stone lanes wind up to the ruins of the Norman castle. In The Godfather Part II, the village of Corleone, where young Vito leaves, and some scenes in Part III were filmed here. The stepped square in front of the main church is easy to recognise. The village gets fewer visitors than Savoca, and its viewpoints look out over Capo Sant'Alessio and the coastline. It is about 10 km from Savoca, so you can see both in a half-day drive.
