Funny thing about The godfather, a pregnant woman was almost beaten to death, a whole bunch of guys were shot to death, one had a knife put through his hand but what got everybody really upset was using a real horse’s head from a factory.

Very nice, but it is a fixer-upper.

I don’t understand some of the urinals.

Did they stand in the middle and shoot at the walls?

Or did they stand by the walls and shoot towards the middle? If they did it that way, then you didn’t want to be standing across from “Cicero Of The Strong Bladder”.

I’ve been there...took the family. It looks bigger now and with more restoration than I remember from 20 years ago.

I’ve been to Sicily twice. Once for a week. It’s like being on another planet.

I spent a week in Sicily in 2019 to reconnect with the hilltop village my grandfather left in 1905. A most beautiful and interesting place, but over populated at the time. The intact Roman Villa has 35,000,000 mosaic tiles, a full color tour de-force. Highly recommend before Sicily is discovered by the masses.
