SUMMERLOG: Scopello a natural setting for film and advertising
The magic of this location is undeniable! This has been well understood by directors, producers, actors and all those who live for art and cinema. Scopello, with its tuna fishery, its stacks and the ancient baglio on the hill, has been chosen over the years by many film and advertising directors. Scenes from commercials for major brands such as Dolce&Gabbana and Wind, to name but two, have been shot here. But it is also the ideal location for major films: Ocean 12, Commissioner Montalbano and Walt Disney's The New Life of Violetta, to name but a few. Many famous actors such as George Clooney, Matt Damon, Vincent Cassel, Peter Fonda, Albert Finney and Robbie Coltrane have bathed in these waters between shots.
Visiting Scopello by sea is an emotion that never ceases to amaze you. Sail under the Faraglioni and dive a few steps away from one of Sicily's most famous and beautiful tuna fisheries.
