Italy’s Veneto & Dolomites (3x6)

Data di messa in onda: Mag 08, 2004

Graced with charming cities, countryside villas and precious art, this corner of Northern Italy also features a playground of Alpine peaks and meadows. After a spectacular night at the opera in fair Verona’s Roman arena, we set out in search of Giotto’s colorful frescoes in Padua and architect Palladio’s palatial villas in Vicenza and the surrounding countryside. Then we head for the hills and the dramatic peaks and meadows of the Dolomite Mountains. Tips on touring the Veneto countryside, shopping for gold and staying in a mountain inn.
