About this product

Product Information

Following his sumptuous series on Venice, Francesco da Mosto celebrates the art and beauty of Italy - its cathedrals, churches, palaces, opera houses, paintings, sculpture and music. It is a story of the Italy we all know and love, enhanced by a look at the secret side of the country that only an insider can show us. Da Mosta reveals the full glories of Renaissance Italy and the country's astonishing cultural diversity, which was only recently unified under one flag. Born into a distinguished family, with a Venetian father and a Sicilian mother, what better guide could there be than one who knows and loves this magnificent country?

Enjoyable and educational watch!
A must see for those who love Italy, or who are keen to visit! Makes me want to return. Francesco’s relaxed style and the stunning scenery makes for easy viewing. Another excellent BBC production.

Francesco’s Italy
I saw this particularly program on BBC television originally. I bought it for my mother as she wanted to watch it again. I thought it was quiet interesting as Francesco travels all over Italy. I believe he originally comes from Venice.
