Discovery Atlas: Italy Revealed

Two-Hour Special for Discovery Channel & Discovery HD Theater

Italy: a land of history, Caesars and popes; a land of passion, and beauty. Italy is culture, from the art of the Renaissance to the architecture of the emperors. This feature-length documentary, filmed in high definition over two years, and narrated by Isabella Rossellini, follows the stories of six Italians building their futures on the foundations of their country’s past – a trainee gondolier in Venice, a Palio jockey in Siena, couture designer Angela Missoni in Milan, a mountaineer in the Alps, an aspiring female racing driver in Rome, and a free diver in Sicily. This is their Italy, seen through their eyes.
