Sicily: Righteous Ruins and Dicey Drivers

May 24th 2022
It is fair to say that we enjoyed our time in Sicily and saw many amazing things as it is an arceiological paradise that we will tell you about, but in our opinion, Sicily needs a coat of love and care, a bit of paint and have the garbage picked up sooner. Now, before you simply move on to another blog or just take a peak at our pictures, we implore you to read the entire blog because overall, we ... read more

If I ever go to Sicily...
If I ever go to Sicily I just have to visit the town/village Corleone just because I want to stand in the town square and say "I am going to give him an offer he can't refuse." Oh yes, I am silly. But I have a lot of fun in my sillyness. /Ake

Going to Sicily
Yes, I guess we should have gone to Corleone. Let me know how it is when you get there. I assumed that scene may have been filmed in some other part but who knows. I'll have to research that.

The scene has nothing to do with Corleone, Sicily
If there in the film are any references to the town Corleone at all they are probably very few. And the scene I am refering to has nothing at all to do with any location in Italy. It might even be a total coincidence that there is a town in Sicily that has the same name as the crime family in the Godfather. I am only looking for a reason to goof around a bit. /Ake

Corleone
You can tell it has been a long time since I've seen the movie. I'll bet they looked for a town in Sicily with a cool name... or edgy history.
