10 Best Hollywood Movies Filmed in Italy

Although the story mostly takes place in New York, Francis Ford Coppola’s classic mafia movie also shows breathtaking scenes in Sicily, showing Michael Corleone’s exile and family roots. The film won three Oscars, including the award for Best Picture. The Sicilian parts were filmed in Savoca, with famous spots like Bar Vitelli and the Church of San Nicolò, and in Forza d’Agrò, which played the role of Corleone. These villages are still well preserved and full of real medieval beauty. A timeless highlight among movies filmed in Italy and a must-see destination for travelers who love Italian cinema.
