Filming for some scenes of the eight-part TV series, directed by director Paolo Genovese and based on the first chapter of the Florios' saga "I Leoni di Sicilia," the best seller by Stefania Auci published by Editrice Nord, ended a few weeks ago in Cefalù. "The Lions of Sicily," which will air on Disney+, is the story of the Florio family.

Brothers Paolo and Ignazio are two small spice merchants who have escaped from a Calabria anchored in the past and in search of social redemption. In Sicily they invent a future, where from a shabby store they start a thriving business that Paolo's young son Vincenzo, with his revolutionary ideas, will later turn into an empire.
