This opera set the stage for the biggest movement in opera known as the Verismo period, or, "truth", opera imitating real life events and emotions. It is a short opera and parts of it are written in sicilian. GF3 is the perfect ending to the saga. It was expertly written and directed, however suubpar Sofia and Andy were (the two had zero chemistry, other than that Andy was okay). If you are familiar with your history you'll notice that the GF films,The Family,The Sicilian were all written around historical events, with the names being changed to protect the assumed.
