The first episode starts from Capri, an island where Greek myths and Roman history were intertwined. We will enter Villa Jovis, chosen by Tiberius as the command center of the Roman Empire, and Villa Lysis, the setting of a tragic love. Then we will be at the Royal Palace of Turin, the place where meetings took place and decisions were made that marked the history of the Unification of Italy. Crossing its immense, magnificent and sumptuous rooms is like taking a journey into the past, into the five centuries of history that have taken place here. The last stop is in Rome among its fountains and aqueducts. Exceptional witnesses: Carlo Verdone in Rome, Mario Martone in Capri and Arturo Brachetti in Turin.

In this second episode we will find Alberto Angela in a magical and unusual place: we are among the domes of San Marco, on the roof of the Basilica of Venice. From there we will set off to discover the lagoon city. We will move along the lesser-known routes of the Doge's Palace and delve into the darkest aspects of the history of Venice. In the Piombi prison we will meet Giacomo Casanova, played by Fabio Troiano, while Ottavia Piccolo will tell us about her experiences as a Venetian by choice. We will then move to Campania, to Paestum, a piece of Magna Graecia in Southern Italy, where it seems that mythical gods and heroes still roam among the great temples of Hera, Athena, and Neptune.

In this third episode we will find Alberto Angela among the spiers of the Milan Cathedral, symbol of the entire city. Passing from the tangle of spiers, pinnacles and statues to the majestic interior with the splendid windows we will take a journey that starts from the end of the 1300s to the present day with a characteristic thread: Candoglia marble, the material with which it was built and which still today it is used for restoration. The journey continues in Abruzzo, where above all it is nature that shows its wonders. Alberto Angela travels through the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park, where the peak of Corno Grande rises. Finally we will go to Catania, telling the history and beauty of two large and rich buildings.

The last episode of Alberto Angela's trip to Italy presents a special trend. In fact, we will start from a privileged place: the Quirinale, the seat of the Presidency of the Republic. Ours will be a discovery not so much of this magnificent palace but of what it represents, that is, of our heritage, of the many natural and artistic riches scattered throughout Italy. It's as if we were here, in the Italian house, taking inventory of the family possessions. From Palazzo Alberto Angela will move to show the wonders of Italy. After a look at the engravings of Val Camonica, the first site in our country protected by UNESCO, we will go to Genoa, the superb city, the ruler of the seas, with its lantern and Palazzo Doria. The best man will be a Genoese in love with his city: Luca Bizzarri. We will move to the south, to Sicily, among the lunar landscapes of Etna, the most active volcano in the world, an alternation of fire and snow.
