On screen
Corleone, 1901. Antonio Andolini, father of nine-year-old Vito, has been murdered for insulting the local Mafia chief, Don Ciccio. The funeral procession winds along a rocky stream bed. Shots ring out, and Paolo, the elder brother who swore revenge, falls dead.
The place today
A rocky stream bed below the village of Graniti in the Alcantara valley. There are no signs and no tourists, just quiet countryside where you can picture the 1901 funeral procession winding between the boulders.
