Known as Italy’s pasta and food capital, David learns first-hand how serious Bolognese people about fats; from heavy, rich butter-based pasta sauces to the delicious mortadella and salami, to the pork-stuffed tortellini. He learns traditional pasta-making methods passed down through the generations and takes a tour of this vibrant and youthful city that hosts many students and artists, who attend the world’s oldest university.

David returns to his beloved Italy, but this time to experience cities he’s never been to. The northern cities of Milan, Verona, Venice, Cinque Terre, Bologna and Italia’s capital Roma act as main characters in this series. Join David as he explores these famous locations in ways that have never been seen before, where the people and their stories run parallel to the art, history, music and food of these great cities. This series captures the way the Italians celebrate life and live their very own Dolce Vita: with good food, humour, passion and spontaneity.
