A Grand Tour of Italy to discover the world capitals of Art & Culture

 
From Venezia to Roma, down to Napoli and up to Torino, via Firenze and Milano we will travel across Italy to sightsee the cities that, with their cultural and artistic heritage, are unmissable destinations for world refined travellers.

Six different travel itineraries with breathtaking aerial views of historical centres, ancient monuments and more modern buildings to discover an interesting combination of Art Cities scattered across Italy.
From the Renaissance Ideal Cities of Firenze, Urbino and Sabbioneta to the Water Cities of Venezia, Genova and Trieste and the ancient Roman Cities of Roma, Verona and Brescia to quote a few.

Italy, the boot shaped peninsula is so unique that it can be clearly recognised even from the space. It is located right at the centre of the Mediterranean and just few kilometres north from Africa, yet it is strongly anchored to Europe. It is a land of great geological and naturalistic fascination that strikes for its diverse climate and geography. We will embark on a 250 million year long back in time journey and we will rebuild the geological history of Italy and hence of the entire planet. We will depart from Pangea, the ancient land surrounded by the immense ocean of Panthalassa and we will witness to the birth of the continents as they appear today.

A four part documentary that will push us to reconsider the strategical position of Italy between two continents and the subsequent geopolitical, anthropological and social implications resulting from this strict relation.

The Alpine Guide, the sole legally authorised professional to lead travellers on the mountains, will hardly appear among the first ten answers to the question “What will you do when you’ll grow up?”.

In this 12 one hour episode docu-reality series we will meet the aspiring Alpine Guides and we will follow the harsh selection and hard training they will undergo from practical trials through to final exams, that will eventually allow them to become professional mountaineers.

The course will articulate between theory and practical trials. Those who will overcome the rock and ice climbing and the alpine skying selection will access a training lasting 100 long days full of anxiety, hope and frustration, strain and sacrifice, victory and defeat.
