In 2006 Italian architect Francesco da Mosto hosted a BBC series in which he traveled his whole country from "top to toe". It's all posted on You Tube. It's a wonderful immersion into laid-back Italian travel. There are 4 episodes, each divided into six 10-minute parts. Below are the links to episodes 1 and 2. Due to message size limits, I'll put links for episodes 3 and 4 on a different post. (Note: You Tube has an "expand to full screen" button in the lower right corner of the video viewer. You may want to use that to make things bigger.)
