The magic of Sicilian films
Sicily loves the cinema. The colors and unique landscapes of this land come to life on fim; for example, in the works of the director Giuseppe Tornatore , Oscar winner of "Cinema Paradiso", a movie shot in Palazzo Adriano, 80 km from Palermo, portraying an exciting tale of friendship between an old man and a child who share a love of film, accompanied by a beautiful soundtrack.
Tornatore is the author of other great films such as Baària, which tells the story of Tornatore as a young director growing up in Sicily in the Fifties.
Tornatore films combine technical knowledge, entertaining stories, and beautiful scenery that help portrait the colors of Sicily ,a land of sun and landscapes with the unique background of an archaic society that still continues, with simple, hard-working traditions.
