Nuovo Cinema Paradiso - Italian Movie Trips

The greatest highs and lows of the director's upbringing in a small Sicilian town, including his unforgettable apprenticeship with the local cinema projectionist and the many townsmen who never missed a movie.

Locations in Italy:

Cefalu

Although Cefalu is a small town, its many beautiful beaches are popular with the people of Palermo and beach life is active. Cefalu is equally famous for its massive Duomo, full of cross-cultural architectural borrowings, particularly the life-sized depictions of Christ in an elaborate Byzantine style. The Temple of Diana high above the city and the sea is an exceptional place for scenic views, reflection, and worship of ancient religions.

Palermo

Palermo is the capital of Sicily, but it has been built under the reign of several foreign empires, including the Moors and Normans who managed to combine architectural designs in awe-inspiring ways. The Palitina chapel with its detailed gold mosaics is just one exceptional example. In Palermo you can also see a puppet museum with Sicilian and international puppetry designs, and a giant outdoor theater, Massimo, featured in The Godfather: Part III
