Synopsis
Two episodes plus bonus clips. We begin in ancient Rome: the Forum, Palatine Hill, Colosseum, and Baths of Caracalla. See modern Roman life on the streets, in cafes, pizzerias and gelaterias. Detour to Vatican City, then shop the Corso and relax at the Spanish Steps. City walks in the historic center and shady Trastevere. Naples is an ideal launching point for exploring ancient Pompeii and the devastation of Mount Vesuvius. Trek across an active volcano, then to stylish Sorrento, sample luscious gelato and ferry to the isle of Capri. Take in spectacular views along the Amalfi Coast and visit Paestum, home to the best Greek ruins outside of Greece. * CINE Golden Eagle Award
