Is There a Town Called Corleone in Sicily? Yes—And It's Real

Corleone is a real comune (municipality) in the province of Palermo, Sicily, Italy.

It gained global fame from Mario Puzo's novel The Godfather and Francis Ford Coppola's films, but the fictional portrayal does not reflect the actual town's history. The real Corleone has a rich medieval heritage, anti-mafia activism (e.g., the CIDMA museum), and agricultural traditions.
