The church of the godfather in Forza d'Agro by Silva Wischeropp

This abandoned, dilapidated, architectural house facade from the Middle Ages was taken on 29 October 2024 in the early evening hours with the NIKON D800 camera (lens: NIKKOR 24.0-70.0 mm f/2.8).

A real feast for the eyes and a visual treat for true lovers and fans of the category: Lost Places. The dilapidated house façade with the typical Sicilian old balcony railings is on the right-hand side of the picture.
In the background shines the famous, also medieval, well-preserved church of the Godfather, which was the filming location for part 1 of the movie (The Godfather 1).
The photographic motif shows a decaying, yet very charming, medieval house façade in the tranquil mountain village of Forza d'Agro on the island of Sicily in southern Italy.

The famous mountain village, which became world-famous as the location for the film "The Godfather", is located directly on the east coast of Sicily and is characterised by breathtaking, old and dilapidated houses, cobbled pavements, knightly castles and magnificent buildings in the style of the Middle Ages.

The abstraction into classic black and white lends the motif an elegant, mysterious and timeless pictorial character.
