Jacob & Co CEO Ben Arabov on
Thursday visited the Vitelli bar in the Sicilian town of Savoca,
where some of the most famous scenes from The Godfather with Al
Pacino were shot, as part of the watchmaker's tribute to the
50th anniversary of the release of the cinema classic.
Arabov visited the bar, which was chosen as the location for the
scenes in 1971, after the presentation at Taormina's Hotel Timeo
of a watch celebrating the anniversary and featuring music from
the film and inscriptions of lines from Francis Ford Coppola's
masterpiece.
Savoca acts as the backdrop to the romance between Michael
Corleone and Apollonia, who, in the film, is the daughter of the
bar's owner and is set to be asked for her hand by the lead
character.
It is still possible today to experience that atmosphere of the
cult American film, both inside and outside the bar, and the
Jacob & Co party considered the visit an unmissable part of
their trip.
