Finding Little Italy
Finding Little Italy
Finding Little Italy will take us on a journey to the real Italy. Forget Rome, Florence, Venice and Milan; these big well known cities are just a footprint in this vast and ancient country. On the back of a Vespa, this series will take us on a journey.
Liguria
Liguria is more than just a glamorous stretch of Riviera coastline; it is a land of picture-perfect villages, atmospheric ghost towns, elegant seaside gems and grandiose villas.
Toscana
The word Tuscany conjures images and ideas that no-one can deny. From the wines of Chianti to the great artistic cities of Florence and Siena, Tuscany is the most Italian of regions.
Umbria
Umbria, the 'green heart of Italy', the 'wilder Tuscany', is an area not hindered by grand centres of tourism. This is little Italy in its purest form.
Lazio
Lazio is more than just Rome. It is an ancient land of Etruscans and Romans, of burst open volcanoes and forgotten coliseums; Lazio is an enormous and complex region that comprises medieval castles, pretty villages and shimmering lakes.
Emilia
What do Parma ham, parmesan cheese, balsamic vinegar and Bolognese sauce all have in common? They are all from the agricultural area of Emilia-Romagna, a vast region that hugs both the Apennine mountains and the Po Valley.
Piemonte
Piemonte is a land full of culinary riches. From arguably the finest Italian wines to those nuggets of delight, the truffles, this wealthy region is an epicurean's dream.
