S10·E3 Episode 3

The 1928, the recovery begins after years of attempts and a colossal effort. The ships are taken to the Nemi Museum, built specifically for this purpose, but unfortunately they are destroyed in 1944 following the retreat of the Germans from Italy. The Museum, however, preserves exceptional finds. Through computer graphics reconstructions, you can admire the ships in their original appearance with their temples, colonnades and palaces. Michelangelo Pepe tells us the fabulous story of a train linked to everyone's imagination: the Orient Express. In this episode, the journey begins aboard the wonderful carriages that have crossed all of Europe until they reach the East, since 1883. It is a journey back in time, because famous people have been guests of the train, and because the Orient Express has been the scene of historic events, such as the transport of Churchill's coffin. But it is also the story of a cutting-edge technology that has revolutionized the way of conceiving travel.
