In the name of cinema

The 2022 season ends in style, in the name of cinema. Favignana has been at the centre of important dramas and TV series. The island is already ready for the 2023 season, starting from April

Netflix has announced the new Italian series SUPERSEX with 7 episodes that will be broadcast in 190 countries worldwide in 2023. The story is  based on the true life of Rocco Siffredi, starred by Alessandro Borghi, and his direct accounts. At the centre of the story unpublished aspects of the porn star are told, a profound tale that tells his life since childhood.

At the end of October, the production was based in Favignana for the shooting of some scenes. Some of our facilities were chosen as logistical bases. So we were also able to meet Alessandro Borghi, who is very good and very likeable (in photo at the Nido del Pellegrino, during a break in filming).

At the end of September Favignana was the set of the series 'I leoni di Sicilia' (based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Stefania Auci), eight episodes that will be broadcast on Disney+. The first scenes with Michele Riondino, alias Vincenzo Florio, were also filmed in Favignana (specifically in the spaces of the former Tonnara Florio).

Favignana confirmed itself as the ideal location for major film productions of international level. The ideal choice for your next spring holiday.

We look forward to seeing you in April 2023 !!!
