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.
