- Andrew Graham-Dixon and chef Giorgio Locatelli travel through Italy exploring the country's history, culture, food, art and landscape. Their journey begins in Bologna, the capital of Emilia-Romagna, one of the richest regions in Italy. They find out why the city is know as la Dotta (the Learned), la Grassa (the Fat) and la Rossa (the Red), while visiting its shops, art institutions and the oldest university in the world.
Andrew and Giorgio experience the social and friendly atmosphere of the region and meet fishermen casting huge nets at the mouth of the river Po. From there, it is a short journey to Ferrara where they discover the legacy left by the famous dynasty d'Este, and to Modena, home of balsamic vinegar and Ferrari.
Finally, Giorgio reveals the source of modern Italian cuisine - at the Palatina Library in Parma he views an original copy of the first cook book of the newly united Italy - while Andrew admires Correggio's magnificent fresco in the dome of Parma Cathedral.
The way both the art historian and the chef talk about their craft is beautiful, awe inspiring
Italy is one of those places that you just know you need to visit before you die. I hope I can visit one day, it's such a beautiful place with an incredibly rich culture and history, and their love for family and for food is virtually unparalleled
Come here while you're young and you still can (and while Italy still stands...)! You won't regret it!
August is swollen with tourists, harder to find parking spaces, although many more festivals during the July-August time, my personal recommendation is to come late May-June especially if going to the beach areas also during your vacation
@@whitelion1111 What about March to April when spring starts?
@@reijiminato8762 it is usually very rainy, especially in the north
I’ve been 3 X !!!
Would leave tomorrow if I had someone with whom to go. Transformative experience. Incredible memories I’ll cherish the rest of my life.
Ordered “The Book”. Yum. Mille grazi.
As an architecture historian, I find Italy the most extraordinary country on earth. The artistic heritage is beyond comparison with any other nation.
What a load of utter crock. You are enraptured with your own enrapturement.
This is one of the finest travelling videos i've ever seen. It makes you delve into the rich heritage,the incredible history and the the fascinating era of the past. Besides describing the grrat heritage of this region , the two gentleman convey to us the fabulous wonders of the regions in such a lovely way and it makes us develop the sense of being there. I wish to visit this incredible land, a wordly heaven, what we presently say 'Italy'.
Sheraz Tanveer bro i swear if i ever stepped a foot in Italy i would start crying
sometimes the best way to apprieciate more your country is to watch it through the eyes of a foreign. Viva l'Italia.
i agree
….the best way to……..the eyes of a ‘foreigner’ 😉
I agree too. I've always thought that.
I’m an American and have spent the last three weeks traveling across your beautiful country, you are blessed to live in this wonderful and amazing place! Si, Viva l’ Italia!!
ITALY IS THE LAND OF ART CULTURE AND CIVILIZATION. POSSES 80% OF WORLDS ART, HAS THE RICHEST CULTURE IN THE WORLD BY FAR...
I have loved Italia for 13 years by now and my biggest dream is visit this beautiful country once in my life time.
Fingers crossed!
It's worth it. Last year, when things were still normal, I went to Venice. We arrived by boat in the morning seeing the silhouette of Venice in the mist. Nothing can beat that.
Start planning your journey, you'll be welcome when this fuckin covid will be over
Italy, a place you will never fail to find new treasures, no matter how long you stay there.

My first trip to Bologna was in 2017, after visiting most of Italy previously, from Australia. Fell in love with this not so touristy working city. Bologna remains my favourite Italian city and I'm from Sicilian heritage. Looking to buy a cheap place there, but ended up getting a beautiful little townhouse cheap in the Apennines in Tuscany ,from friends in Australia who were off-loading it. Not Bologna, but 50kms away so I can spend most of my time there. Dream come true for hardly much money, compared with Australia's ridiculous house prices. Living the dream next September. This show brings tears to my eyes
If you are of Sicilian heritage, why didn't you get a home in Sicily?
@@cg8397 Because I prefer Bologna.
I so much miss this. Praying for Italy.
italian food is just unbelievably. My personal favourite.
12:30 WOW, definitely tourist friendly
Lot of passion in this video better than a romantic movie, I love Italy !! 🌞🌜🌠
This is so true. I see you're an art lover. Maybe you also like the art of Vega Montagni. Just stop by my site and enjoy her work.
Great, lovely, beautiful country.
"Don't touch the book! I've got the gloves!" Pure entertainment!
Italy & it's utterly amazing, glorious, incredible, rich history, culture & presence in the world, I have 8 words.......Formidable and exquisite and never to be underestimated!!!
This is the 3rd time I watched this fantastic video, the lads are so wonderful their passion for what they do really helps you to understand the region, art and food, I thank them from the bottom of my heart.
My ancestors are from Northern Italy, so this is really meaning full to me.
Some DNA tests I took showed Northern Italian Ancestry mixed with Sephardic Jewish genes. :)
Bebop lady: Great bullshit!
I love how first Andrew gets to be the "tourguide", with Giorgio listening in amazement. Then it turns to Giorgio's terrain, and he just takes over the show.
these two guys have great chemistry and Italy is the center of the world that is all great and spectacular
Italy is neither geographically nor culturally center of the world. Its not even the center of Europe.
...Never mind, you need not answer to my comment above ... From this you already understand that you're an idiot comprehensive total ... Probably your "engine" is just hatred and prejudice.
@@crazyjack000 Historically it is the centre of the Western world and in part of the whole world.
Love that they had an Italian Chef and an Italian Art Historian teaming up to look at food and art. Food and art are absolute gifts to the world, and I enjoy studying both Love how the Art Historian talked about his mother taking him to ten of the churches, and the two of them making scrapbooks of all the postcards, and how that was his first history lesson. So touching! :)
+I, Adaora what do you mean Italian art historian?
I agree that this is one of the finest travel videos that I have ever seen. I enjoy eating Italian foods and owning and driving Italian cars even though my ancestors emigrated from Japan. I also agree that American Italian food has been altered to suit American tastes and when I eat real Italian food it tastes very different. My father enjoyed the warmth of Italian people even if he was an American soldier fighting in Italy during WWII.
The Renaissance, mixed with the natural features of it, made Italy the most beautiful place on Earth. Though that hasn't stopped its people from having a pretty violent history..
+Salvus967 has there been peaceful places?
+Foc4ccin4 ?? I don't quite understand. Are you asking if other countries do not also have violent histories? If so, then yes there are lots of countries with violent pasts. I guess pretty much ever country has a violent past. But I wasn't making the point that Italy's was necessarily more violent....Although..lol.
@@Salvus967 You said "pretty violent"..italian history is not particularly violent compared to other countries.
These guys do compliment each other..bringing a wonderful exposure to the essence of Italy..
So enjoyable to have food and art expressed in such an elegant manner..bellisamo..⭐
I was able to savor every detail of this rich region of Italy, for its culture to its food, but most of all its people. Just fantastic. I hope to visit this region to experience it all. Magnifico.
This video is at another level. Today’s vloggers can’t reach this peak. Such passion & detail, class act.
What a great combination Andrew and Giorgo! I am utterly amused !
I like this show :) It's interesting to see a show that combines art history and food. There's also good chemistry between Andrew and Giorgio; I like their sense of humor!!!
I just so love these two guys and this is the best travel programme I have ever seen! they are so passionate and competente in their areas: cooking and art. and they have such a good interaction with great humor and openness that I am so deeply touched by - what a friendship! the whole Italy unpacked series are my favorite and has given me the last klick to head for Italy in April 2017 to start a 2 week italian course!
wow, it doesn't get better than Giorgio and Andrew
The way both of them talk about what they know is full of passion.. It will be a dream come true to travel the world... 💕
Such a lovely programme, thank you. Can't wait to watch more of their travels through Italy. The BEST armchair travel to Italy EVER!!
Excellent series covering the culture of northern Italy, as represented in it’s art and cuisine.
Try to watch all 3 episodes if you can find them.
Siete bravissimi. I loved it very much. It brought me back in time when I was a little girl in Italy and made tagliatelle with my mother with her precious Sunday sauce.
Even the cars he rides around in are works of art...!
beautiful, overwhelmingly richly flavored
you get my vote for pure artistic brilliance!
Fun to watch this video again after moving to Emilia Romagna half a year ago :) Its pretty accurate.. the food here is amazing (to be fair its pretty amazing anywhere in Italy)
you need a doctor, immediately
Me? God, I hate the comment system on youtube, its impossible to know who replies to who when they reply to replies..
GiammiEvo
Italian food gave me diarrhea/food poisoning, I need to see a doctor asap LOL.
@@crazyjack000 you're sad honestly, going around tyiping useless hating comments as if you don't have much to do in your life, pretty sad Omer

Ron shutup Ron Stupid Ron
A totally incredible show! Beautiful towns, country, people, traditions, cultures, food, etc!! It’s got everything worth watching!!
Thank you!
Two great men , so passionate about what they are doing . Great stories!!!!!
More video from both you please.
Good choice of music, i love Paolo Conte!
I love my region!
They are both so wonderfully passionate. I love that both men have passion for the art and food.
more , more programs from both of you please, great teller's stories. Love to watch, very interesting.
Gentleman I can’t say and thank you enough for this 1 hour absolutely wonderful video. I’ve been wanting to know more of my recent fascination with Emilia-Romagna, looking to visit soon. The two contrasting men in the video were awesome...love it so much...thank you, Gracie.
Yes , great lovely gentelmens with enthusiasmo and spirit ...sono bravissimi 👏👏👏 grazie mille un brindisi perfavore🍷👋🏻
Wow, I am very impressed by Bologna! Thank you, producers and presenters of this video! I will find out ...
A sublime account of a unique region which defies comparison. Bravo!
These places beckon me to visit. Surely they're among my bucket list to visit one day.
The chemistry between these two is wonderful~
As is their knowledge, the manner which they discuss and share it, and most distinctly to me, their personalities!
Haha, like when they finished tapeing their joyride in the Ferrari 🤣 both of their own responses was just so funny and so ummm reflective I guess sort of, of their personalities (or maybe more accurately how I’ve been perceiving their personalities 😅)
Nevertheless, it’s all just, wonderful!
~~~~
The most magical country in the world.
Very enjoyable and introspective...grazie!
Questa serie è stata una delle cose più belle viste in televisione negli ultimi anni. La celebrazione dell'arte e della cucina (arte in senso maiuscolo) italiane affidate alle mani di un grande chef come Locatelli e alla cultura di A.G. Dixon.
Watching this cooked, is honestly the best thing
Morgan Freeman
Oh Morgan, you are here !
Bellisimo documentario. God grace you with so much Artistry. best of two of you.............. Congrats
Totally wonderful!
Brilliant! Lovely tour full of passion & life
It is worth to wait for something that keeps on getting better and better over time ! 😃
Superb. Thanks for the upload.
beautiful , so good episode / video jet set in italy. thank you
Marvellous video and two inspiring commentators within the art of living in Italy. One little suggestion mind you, on the final video added on names of cities and buildings visited. Thank you. It does bring back so many memories of our last visit in Italy ….an open air museum for the sake of our soul.
much love and thanks:)
I truly enjoyed this video. Thank you.
what's the main skill of italians? to know what's best in life and perfect it thru the centuries.
They need to make more of these!
Thank you
THANK YOU for sharing this homage a la vita 🍒
Loved this so much!!! Where can I find more videos about Italy and these two meraviglioso gentiluomo?!
Just type in "Italy Unpacked" into the search bar here on youtube.
Grazie!

Prego. :)
Hello dear..... How are you doing
Was expecting Larry David to show up at 22:10
''Who has done more for art and beauty and good food than Italy? Name one..'' Mario Andretti
Outstanding gentleman, fantastic review.
Genial ! Schon das Zuschauen ist ein Genuss !
perfecto!!!!
Best documentary 👏
me encanta la comida italiana pues mi nieta es italia y su abuela es italiana y son muy Buena familia I love family pucci
Great documentary. Just started watching it. Italy fascinates me. Thanks for not having modern Italian-Americans star in the show and act like they belong haha
@Celto Loco Thanks for the recommendation friend. I will give it a look.
thanks!
Excellent.
“For one time can I look intelligent and you like a peasant”! Original!!
But true. Georgio is a peasant and now a rich one thanks to London. But it shows, his knowledge of the history of his own country is zero.
Wish I was on this trip
if i had the money i'd be there like NOW!!!
Sunday, December 23, 2018. So!!!, this video should be kept in the most important vaults, libraries of the Capital Cities of the World. Salut and my appreciation to these persons Chief Giorgio Locatelly and Andrew Graham-Dixon. I am your friend and friend of many.
Locatelli
Watching this made me hungry. Sadly, the closest I'll ever get to going to Italy is hanging out on Preston Street. Ciao!
i really want to go to Italy
These two are a beautiful blending of art and food.. discovering to share in such a magical way..
to be reminded of how rich in history Italy is.
thanx ;)
Semolina flour = crispy effect in the fish and the other = stick to fish effect :D:D Its like mini fish and chips without the chips! I love food :D
Awesome video... enjoyed alot.. would definitely visit balonia in future :)
*Bologna ;)
+Bruno Borgatti
Babilonia.
+Bruno Borgatti : bologna mean???
heavenly heavenly
I have a coveted bottle of 1865 Balsamic Vinegar Tradicional from Modena. It has an incredible little bottle with a cork and Crest of the pope. I only open it with those who would appreciate its beauty.
This is making me so hungry.
This is my city, Bologna!
Didn't see one Macdonald's. Thanks the Lord!!
Sorry Tom...32.13!
McDonald's in Italy, it has adapted to the national food tastes but there is!
I saw one.
It'd be funny if they did this show in America and he talked about the art of the "Golden Arches" then went to walmart and Starbucks.. and your typical American stores and spoke about them with such passion as this! haha
TomFoti at 32:14 tho...
great passion for fiod and art from Bologna, and Andrew and Giorgio. Great music too! does anybody know the names of the music from this episode?
I've always wanted to visit Italy... The closest to Italy I've been was when playing assassin's creed 2, brotherhood and revelations...
That wiz awesum
FORZA EMILIAAAAA!!! I'm from the area between Ferrara and Modena! :-D
Man where Actually u live
Ali Harris San Giovanni in Persiceto, technically.
Cool i Live in modena
I work in Modena up by the Cinema.
Good.... How old r u
On my way sicilia got a good heads up from the boys Palermo here we come
Awww.... they make such a cute couple!
BOLAZIMOOOO!
The series is nice but in this episode Andrew Graham-Dixon made quite a big mistake. The medieval Bolognese wanted their PARISH church of San Petronio to be the biggest in Christendom and the pope stopped the construction by putting the university building (Archiginnasio) in the way, The CATHEDRAL of San Pietro (not to be mistaken with the local saint Petronius) lies in Via dell'Indipendenza and was completed in baroque style. You can see the incomplete San Petronio church in 8:06. Once more, it's a parish church (the biggest parish church in the world).
