Emilia-Romagna & Tuscany – The art of living (1x2)
Air date: Sep 23, 2024
This stage of the hike takes Simona Caminada and her hiking companion Yuri Basilicò to two regions: Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany. Both are popular holiday destinations. But instead of busy cities like Bologna and Florence, Simona and Yuri are drawn to the hinterland. They pass places that do not correspond to common ideas - but are nevertheless representative of this region. Simona and Yuri follow in Michelangelo's footsteps, explore a gigantic marble quarry and visit a workshop where delicate sculptures are made from stone blocks. Emilia-Romagna has a reputation as a stronghold of the left and prides itself on its modern and hardworking population. Here Simona meets a mayor whose age and biography are unusual for this office, and a busy woman who combines entrepreneurship and social commitment with inventiveness.
