About The Godfather Trilogy (1972-1990)

From the suburbs of Ellis Island, where young Italian immigrant Vito Corleone arrives in 1900, to Palermo at the dawn of the 21^st century, through the New York gangs, Las Vegas, the Sicilian countryside and the Vatican, you are cordially invited to break bread with the Corleone family.

It is hard to imagine a trilogy more legendary than The Godfather. An exhilarating combination of classic and contemporary cinema (featuring the encounter between revered giant Brando and actors who will become the biggest stars of the late 20^th century: Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Diane Keaton, James Caan and Robert Duvall), this cinematographic marvel of over nine hours, a film of a rare coherence and unparalleled virtuosity, has remained an important anchor in American popular culture. At once a Greek tragedy, a historical saga and a family chronicle, it takes us deep into the mysterious and intriguing world of the Italian-American mafia and its grand New York families.

With nine Oscars and worldwide audiences of millions, this magnificent work, set to stunning visuals by iconic New Hollywood cinematographer Gordon Willis and epic music by Nino Rota, which remains among the most famous in the history of cinema, results in a masterpiece of enduring and powerful significance.
