THE ROOTS OF ITALY

Italy is a country where landscape and cuisine are inseparable expressions of identity. From volcanic soils to mountain fortresses, from pastoral traditions to coastal abundance, each territory preserves a unique dialogue between nature, history, and food culture. This documentary series travels across Italy’s lesser-known regions to uncover how geography, climate, and centuries of human presence have shaped extraordinary local traditions. Each episode focuses on a specific landscape and its emblematic products, from Abruzzo to Sardinia, from Molise to Tuscany, and from Campania to Lazio, crossing Italy to reveal how these products and recipes define communities, memory, and cultural survival.
