Coppola family

The Coppola family (Italian pronunciation: [ˈkɔppola]) is an Italian-American family of filmmakers and performing artists.

The family originates from Bernalda in the region of Basilicata. Agostino "August" Coppola (1882–1946) emigrated to the United States circa 1905. He married Maria Zasa (1887–1974) (also from Bernalda) on January 25, 1908. They had seven children—Archimedes, Carmine, Pancrazzo, Mario, Anton, Edward and Clarence. The best-known members (Francis Ford Coppola, Nicolas Cage) are descended from Carmine Coppola.
