About the Book

Honour and dishonour. Loyalty and betrayal. Love and loss. Exile. Revenge. Light and dark. This, set against the background of mountaintop villages, baroque churches, and the sun-drenched landscapes of Sicily, makes The Godfather film series a work of enduring art considered by many to be the greatest films of all time. The cinematic heritage of the films' locations is as visually and historically savoury as an Italian feast, as sweet as cannoli. Yet a formal guide to follow in the films' footsteps has never been published! Much of the online information is fragmented, incomplete and often completely wrong. This book changes that, explaining the in-depth history and exact locations of the film sites and tailored to both tourists and film connoisseurs alike. Written by a Mediterranean archaeologist and well-studied Godfather superfan of several decades, everything needed for a Godfather aficionado to experience Sicily for themselves is included. This book is an extensively researched and trusted resource for both the traveller (armchair or otherwise) and anyone interested in understanding the history and lore surrounding the filming locations. It may even inspire casual tourists to convert into Godfather film fans themselves. Film facts and scene analysis are presented and suggested side trips are included along with tidbits of cultural information and over 100 photos. AUTHOR: Karen M. Spence is an engineer and holds a graduate degree in Classical Mediterranean Archaeology from the University of Leicester, UK. Her interests include ancient Rome, mafia history, and film. She is also very passionate about the Godfather trilogy. Karen is a dual citizen of both the USA and UK, has lived in 5 countries and travelled to over 65. She has travelled extensively throughout Italy and currently resides in Mérida, Mexico. 120 colour illustrations
