Discover Frank Capra's Roots in Bisacquino

The first stop on your journey is Bisacquino, the birthplace of Frank Capra, one of the most famous Italian-American directors in Hollywood during the 1930s and '40s. Capra's story is closely connected to the wave of Sicilian emigration to America, as many sought success across the ocean. Among his masterpieces is "It's a Wonderful Life," ranked 11th on the American Film Institute's list of the 100 greatest American films of all time in 1998.

You'll also have the chance to meet one of the film's stars, adding a special touch to the experience.
