Trimarchi Palace and Vitelli Bar in Savoca
The Palazzo Trimarchi in Savoca is an ancient noble palace in Sicilian neoclassical style. The palace is famous throughout the world for having been the set of some famous scenes from The Godfather by Francis Ford Coppola.
It was built between the end of the seventeenth century and the early years of the eighteenth century by the wealthy Trimarchi family, who made it their residence. It was one of the most important and prominent palaces of ancient Savoca.
The palace has three elegant balconies with carved stone corbels and two finely worked stone portals.
On the ground floor of this ancient building there is the small bar where some scenes of "The Godfather" were filmed in 1971. The bar is still called Bar Vitelli.
