A wedding in Corleone
Forza d’Agrò Cathedral — Forza d’Agrò

On screen
Mid-tour, a village wedding party pours out of the main church, an echo of Michael and Apollonia’s wedding in the first film. It is the same cathedral Michael walked past in the 1940s, and from whose steps the hunt for little Vito was announced in 1901.
The place today
The village’s main church, a Baroque façade at the top of a stairway. The present building dates from 1707, after its predecessor collapsed in an earthquake. Forza d’Agrò is a medieval village 420 m up, with cobbled, mostly car-free lanes, a 15th-century gate (Arco Durazzesco) and the ruins of a Norman castle at the top.
