The Godfather Part 2 - 1974 - Italian Movie Trips

Having recently been appointed Don of the mildly criminal Corleone family, once idealistic young Michael faces increasingly savage decisions as he negotiates dangerous political allegiances inside and outside the family. His choices begin to parallel those of his father, whose criminal reputation is remembered in long flashbacks of a placid but mafia-ridden Sicily.

Locations in Italy:

Taormina

Taormina is an exceptionally busy and provocative vacation destination. It has an stunning Greek theater facing Mt. Etna, justifiably famous beaches and excellent panoramic views of the sea. In the town itself you are surrounded by colorful gardens and crenellated Moorish architecture (from long occupations of the past). You might also take a guided trip from Taormina to the base of the volcanic Mt. Etna or higher.

Trieste

Trieste is the absolute corner of traditional Western Europe, a major port sitting at the very border of Slovenia, where the Austrian-style cafes are renowned and international artistists traditionally stop to finish their work. James Joyce wrote "Portrait of the Artist" in Trieste and given its proximity to the sea and long history of eclectic ruling cultures, the creative preparation of seafood is yet another artistic mainstay at area restaurants. Don't miss the opportunity to leave the city center and visit the long concrete promenade and popular sunbathing area, with its quiet views of tethered tankers in the distance and the white, otherwise tranquil Miramare castle above (built by the former emperor of Mexico, who lost his life in an uprising).
