About
James May is travelling the length and breadth of one of his favourite countries: Italy. Beginning in the Sicilian capital of Palermo and finishing in the Dolomites, it’s a trip that will take him to almost every region of Italy. There’ll be culture, food, industry, and even a bit of sport, all played out against some of the world’s most stunning urban and rural backdrops.
For James, Italy has always felt like a country that doesn’t seem to make sense. On the one hand, Italy is often regarded to be on the cutting edge – of science, fashion, and engineering, yet its economic infrastructure has fallen on very hard times. Somehow, though, Italy and the Italians always prevail.
It’s a conundrum that leads James to ask a question: have the Italians sussed the secret to living a good life? And after spending weeks in the country, might James actually discover 'la dolce vita'?
