The Coppola family ( KOH-pə-lə, Italian: [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) immigrated 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, including Francis Ford Coppola, Talia Shire, Sofia Coppola, Jason Schwartzman and Nicolas Cage, are descended from Carmine Coppola.
The family became the subject of notoriety, with several outlets accusing Francis Ford Coppola of nepotism for casting members of the Coppola family in his films since The Godfather—including his daughter Sofia, who appeared in The Godfather Part III.
