Shore Excursions From Palermo To Tour Of Corleone And Palazzo Adriano
A trip within the Sicilian soul and the history of this Mediterranean island in the better way.
Sicily Airport Transfer provide this trip which will take you to the provinces of Palermo, inside old villages where time seems to stand still and antique flavor can be felt in the air.
We will visit Corleone, known worldwide as the home of the most 'bloody Mafia bosses, and Palazzo Adriano, a beautiful city encircled by green mountains. After a scenic drive uphill and across the countryside, we will arrive at Corleone, built 3000 years ago by the Sikelian. Corleone is a rural town known as the city of a hundred churches, built between two rocky outcrops, well-known for the Sicilian mafia and mafia bosses, the birthplace of the real Don Corleone, and where authenticity and invention come together in the famous Francis Ford Coppola saga.
We suggest you take a walking tour around the old town, where even today you can see old men with the typical Sicilian hat, strangely looking foreigners strolling around town. Corleone is a major agricultural center of farming and wine production. In local bars you can taste the cannoli with ricotta cheese or if you aspire you can visit the local museum which houses artifacts of the rural culture of Sicily. In the afternoon we will continue to Palazzo Adriano, surrounded by the Sicani mountains, where we suggest you visit the town square with its catholic and the byzantine churches.
The splendour of this country has prompted the director Giuseppe Tornatore filming the famous movie Paradise New Cinema (Nuovo Cinema Paradiso) in 1988 and the subsequent year won the Academy Award for best foreign film. Today is a museum dedicated to film production, which tells the friendship of a child and an old man in the background of the Sicily of the 40s when the cinemas were the only entertainment for the Sicilians survivors of War world two. Discover the archaic Sicily with Sicily Airport Transfer and try the thrill of visiting the places that marked the history of Sicily, the good and the bad.
