BBC – Italy Unpacked: The Art of the Feast (VIDEO)
Andrew Graham-Dixon and chef Giorgio Locatelli travel through Italy exploring the country’s history, culture, food, art and landscape. Their journey begins in Bologna, the capital of Emilia-Romagna, one of the richest regions in Italy. They find out why the city is know as la Dotta (the Learned), la Grassa (the Fat) and la Rossa (the Red), while visiting its shops, art institutions and the oldest university in the world.
Andrew and Giorgio experience the social and friendly atmosphere of the region and meet fishermen casting huge nets at the mouth of the river Po. From there, it is a short journey to Ferrara where they discover the legacy left by the famous dynasty d’Este, and to Modena, home of balsamic vinegar and Ferrari.
Finally, Giorgio reveals the source of modern Italian cuisine – at the Palatina Library in Parma he views an original copy of the first cook book of the newly united Italy – while Andrew admires Correggio’s magnificent fresco in the dome of Parma Cathedral.

The chef dude is kind of an overennunciating cartoon figure

I agree that this is one of the finest travel videos that I have ever seen. I enjoy eating Italian foods and owning and driving Italian cars even though my ancestors emigrated from Japan. I also agree that American Italian food has been altered to suit American tastes and when I eat real Italian food it tastes very different. My father enjoyed the warmth of Italian people even if he was an American soldier fighting in Italy during WWII.
ITALY IS THE LAND OF ART CULTURE AND CIVILIZATION. POSSES 80% OF WORLDS ART, HAS THE RICHEST CULTURE IN THE WORLD BY FAR…
Why is not the Art Historian Italian… No one better than a local knows all about all the amazing Cultural Heritage of the Country
I think I've read or heard somewhere before that Spain used to be a province of Italy; can someone please confirm if there's truth to that? Thanks.
Geez so overrated.
On my way sicilia got a good heads up from the boys Palermo here we come

How nice to see two homosexuals traveling together through Italy….
Fuck you, you piece of shit. Don't blame the Americans; it's what you served us back when you were destitute and we offered you a home. It's not like we came up with it on our own.
Siete bravissimi. I loved it very much. It brought me back in time when I was a little girl in Italy and made tagliatelle with my mother with her precious Sunday sauce.
The chemistry between these two is wonderful~
As is their knowledge, the manner which they discuss and share it, and most distinctly to me, their personalities!
Haha, like when they finished tapeing their joyride in the Ferrari 🤣 both of their own responses was just so funny and so ummm reflective I guess sort of, of their personalities (or maybe more accurately how I’ve been perceiving their personalities 😅)
Nevertheless, it’s all just, wonderful!

No offense to any other culture or country, but our cuisine is the best in the world. Asian food is amazing and my 2nd favorite, but Italian food is second to none…
Annoying people… 😀
