Savoca is a small village in which, in 1972, numerous scenes of the film "The Godfather" by Fred Francis Coppola were filmed. Once arrived we will stop at Bar Vitelli, famous for being the bar where Michael Corleone proposed to the young Apollonia. For those who wish it will be possible to taste a typical Sicilian granita and then continue visiting the village, until you get to the church of "Santa Lucia" which we also find in some excerpts of the film such as that of the marriage between Michael Corleone and Apollonia.
