Where Palazzo Adriano, Italy
When 1994
Photographer William Albert Allard

"Barren town square in Palazzo Adriano evokes old Sicily—so much so that director Giuseppe Tornatore used it as a backdrop for his Cinema Paradiso, an affectionate look at postwar Sicily that won a 1989 Academy Award. Most of the town's 3,000 residents appeared as extras in the film about a little boy enchanted with the magic of movies."

—From "Italy Apart: Sicily," August 1995, National Geographic magazine
