Coppola was in Italy to promote his latest movie, the science-fiction epic “Megalopolis,” a $120 million self-funded production.

Francis Ford Coppola, the acclaimed American director of The Godfather movies and Apocalypse Now, underwent a non-emergency medical procedure in Rome Tuesday and is doing fine, he and a U.S.-based representative said.

The legendary filmmaker had wrapped a six-city U.S. tour in support of 'Megalopolis' in partnership with Live Nation at San Francisco's Palace of Fine Arts on Friday night.
