The most important Sicilian scenes of the Godfather trilogy were filmed in Savoca, Forza d’Agrò and in Fiumefreddo di Sicilia but not in Corleone (as many believe).
Corleone, near Palermo in Sicily, was too modern and developed even in the early 70s to be used for filming a story dated back to the early 1950s.
If you are a fanatic of the film you may be also interested to visit the Castello degli Schiavi in Fiumefreddo di Sicilia( also known as the Godfather Villa ). Here was shot one of the most famous scenes in the first Godfather film, when Apollonia was murdered by a car bomb explosion.
