About Forza d'Agrò
Perched above the Ionian coast between Taormina and Messina, Forza d'Agrò is a medieval hill village of narrow stone lanes, a Norman-era castle ruin and sweeping views that made it a natural backdrop for cinema. Its layered Greek, Byzantine, Arab and Norman past is best read on foot, and several guided experiences connect that history to the films shot here, such as The Godfather Tour: Savoca & Forza d'Agrò from Taormina and the more intimate Private Godfather Tour from Taormina with Appetizer & Pasta.
