Once we arrive in the art city of Savoca, a small village where many scenes from the film "The Godfather" by Fred Francis Coppola were shot, we will stop at the Vitelli bar, famous for being the bar in the film, where it will be possible to taste a typical Sicilian granita. Another stop on our tour will be the church of "Santa Maria in cielo Assunta" which we also find in some excerpts of the film such as the wedding between Michael Corleone and Apollonia.

Once in Castelmola you can admire one of the most beautiful villages in Italy and taste almond wine in the famous Bar Turrisi known for the presence of phallic shapes used as decorations. These symbols are not to be designated as vulgar, but as a symbol of fertility, prosperity and freedom according to the ideas of Greek culture. You will also have the opportunity to taste almond wine and exquisite Sicilian cannoli.
