The Big Read: In the footsteps of The Godfather in Sicily

Tina Pisco’s grandfather arrived on Ellis Island from Corleone in 1905. She travelled with her 92-year-old father to the town that inspired The Godfather. 

I started my journey from West Cork, with a rainy drive up to the city in the middle of the night.

There are few flights left out of Cork airport these days, and so the best way to make an early morning Dublin flight is to take the 2am Aircoach from Patrick’s Quay.
