Trimarchi Palace and Vitelli Bar in Savoca
The Palazzo Trimarchi in Savoca is an ancient noble palace in Sicilian neoclassical style. It is located in Piazza Fossìa, in the Borgo district, near the Town Hall. It has three elegant balconies with carved stone shelves and two finely worked stone portals. It was built between the end of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries by the wealthy Trimarchi family, who used it as their residence. It was one of the most important and visible palaces of ancient Savoca. On the ground floor of this ancient building is the small bar where in 1971 some scenes of the film "The Godfather" by Francis Ford Coppola were shot. The bar is still nicknamed Bar Vitelli.
