Description

Detailed stone facades used in The Godfather

Two large sections of faux wall from the classic 1972 film The Godfather. Constructed of fiberglass and layered Muralo paint to portray stone texture, the sections measure approximately 90 x 47 and 45.5 x 48.5, and served as façades for the faux stonewall designed to enlarge the property grounds of the sprawling Corleone mall, in addition to obstructing the view of neighboring houses during filming. The extensive fabricated walls built to surround the Corleone compound can be observed in three significant scenes: the opening wedding celebration, the transition of power between Michael and Vito, and the Don’s collapse in the garden. In overall very good to fine condition. Oversized. Originates from the estate of the Norton family, whose Staten Island mansion, over the course of a year, was famously used by Francis Ford Coppola and crew to film The Godfather. An uncommon pairing of expertly made set pieces from one of cinema’s most storied films.
