S4·E2 From the Islands of Lake Maggiore to the Magnificent Atmosphere of Syracuse

In this episode the journey to discover the beauties of Italy starts from the north of the country and more precisely from the islands of Lake Maggiore, on the border between Piedmont and Lombardy. We start from Isola Bella, the most sumptuous of the Borromean Islands, where the work of nature and the genius of man have come together to create one of the most spectacular gardens in the world and where we will admire the palace of the Borromeo family. We then move on to the Rocca di Angera, an ancient medieval fortress that belonged to the Visconti family and the Hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso, which for more than eight centuries has offered silence and serenity to those who dedicate their lives to prayer. The story continues to discover one of the oldest cities in Italy, Orvieto, to end in Syracuse.
