Cinema Paradiso ¦ Visiting the shooting location ¦ Palazzo Adriano, Sicily 

Wow thank you very much for showing me where my favourite film was made It’s my goal to get there Thank you

The locals are so proud to show you around…. Enjoy a coffee at the local bar and you will soon be making friends… well worth a visit

Lovely little homage to the film. Thank you

Nice video. I was just in Palazzo Adriano today but unfortunately the museum is temporarily closed and it rained pretty hard so I wasn’t able to enjoy my visit nearly as much as I’d hoped. I’ll be back as Cinema Paradiso is definitely my all time favorite film.

Oh!!! How beautiful!!! It's indeed unchanged and exactly like the film!!!! I love how cities and towns often become not just the place where a film plays out... But a character in the film... Lending it's nuances and idiosyncrasies.... And enriching the cinema!!!!

This is a brilliant tribute to the film & to the maestro Morricone

So nice to see the village has stayed the same in this ever-changing world. I’m planning to go there for the first time next year. I’m such a nut for this movie, I have a CP poster on my office wall and the theme is my phone’s ringtone. Such a classic in every way. Thanks for making this video.

Thanks for sharing

Thank you very much for this. It's not changed one bit. What a beautiful place.

Looks exactly like in the film 😊

I absolutely love visiting movie locations. Especially when they’re off the beaten path and generally unchanged from when filming took place. This one is a little farther off the beaten path for me, but I’ll make it there someday. The new version of Wizard of Oz was filmed a few miles from my house, but it’s just a giant square concrete building. Everything was shot indoors mostly on green screen sets. Poetically, that’s what was foretold in Cinema Paradiso: the end of the golden era of film.

Have you looked up the spots in the town where Salvatore sits with (then blinded) Alfredo and the one where he waits for his girl?
