One of the nicest things about the Godfather movies are all the shots of Corleone's life in Sicily. Coppola shot those scenes on site, including the very last scene where Michael's daughter is killed on the steps of the magnificent opera house in Palermo (a world class city, btw).

I wonder why American tourists don't flock to Sicily? Any ideas, ellen?
