A warm Mediterranean breeze brushes the piazza as the coach pulls into a narrow Sicilian lane — shutters clap like shutters of a stage and stone stairs lead uphill to the places Coppola chose to film his quiet, tense scenes. On this half-day Godfather tour travelers stand where Michael Corleone walked, hear film excerpts in a restored castle, and move through Savoca’s angled alleys where Bar Vitelli still serves coffee beneath framed black‑and‑white photos.
