Small little village known for having been the set of some scenes of the movie "The Godfather". A stop at the "Bar Vitelli" on the main square is a must.

15/20 mins drive from Santa Teresa. The Ancient Roman theatre is by far the most remarkable attraction but also worth a visit for an evening shopping stroll or romantic dinner.
